The big washing

	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!
