"Être au pied du mur"

"Être au pied du mur"( French expression that means to face one's responsibility.) is an interactive installation made available to visitors to the museum. It is an original work that they are invited to appropriate so the public can create their own happening and decide the limits of the installation (for example, they can also invade the ground with the removable parts of the installation). The aim is to stimulate reflection on our conscious or unconscious participation in the construction and/or destruction of walls. The reflection also concerns the moment when their construction exceeds us, when it becomes out of reach, inaccessible to our direct action; then requiring a form of physical and inner ascension in order to cross these walls. In a world specifically marked this year by the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, but even more so by the development of wall constructions between peoples and countries, it is urgent to reflect on our relationship to the Wall.
At the end of the exhibition, the artist will recover all the components of the installation in their current state in order to create an intervariactiv artwork on canvas with them. Indeed, these elements represent a form of archaeological artifacts that present traces and memories of interactions.
