This installation marks the continuation of my residency at the Abbaye de Maubuisson. Once I’d finished, I realized that I’d preferred to listen to and investigate the Abbey’s stories rather than try to materialize them. So I imagined a space, representing an ideal of neutrality, as well as 3 objects symbolic of conversation. The megaphone to be heard, the dais to be listened to and the carafe to create conviviality. I then invited some of my sister’s friends to take their place in the space to tell a story. It didn’t matter which one, whether it was their first memory or a strong one, I didn’t take a position.
This led to some awkward moments of blankness, but in the end, it only left room for the essential.
