The big washing,
2004
The young workers hostel contacted
us (Céline Dodelin and me) to create an event that will connect
the residents together. But how to do it when they are used to stay
closed in their bedroom?
We decided to bring a personal
object in their intimacy: a bolstercase embroidered with contemporary
poetry.
So we organized "A big washing" where each resident was
invited to throw away his old bolstercase and to choose a new one
with the text he liked the best. For this occasion, we transformed
all their traditional meeting place and organized a concert! |
