Planète Métisse
To mix or not to mix ?
"To understand crossbreeding is thinking the go-between"
Serge Gruzinski in La pensée métisse
Crossbreeding is the child of modernity. It is now at the heart of society. It is in the people, in the homes, in the language, in the practices. Often we are no longer even aware of its presence. This exhibition is an opportunity to identify the ingredients of crossbreeding to reveal a mechanism, that of modernity, among others.
The strength of the exhibition gallery lies in the continuity of soil, which binds together like a territory. It brings together and decompartmentalizes borders. The plateaus are like belvederes giving to rise from the environment and offer remarkable and characteristic viewpoints.
The general principle goes on the extrapolation of the architectural elements present on the mezzanine: tie rods and posts.
