“Intimacy, Memory, Presence, Hybridity are the key words of this residency. 

    In our minds, Marietta appears as a place seized by an ambivalence between public and private space. Both bar and house, the spaces overlap and hybridize themselves. The public and the private come together, things and bodies are embodied and diffused by each other. We would like to exploit this contradiction by carrying out a project that resonates with the issues of the space, which is both intimate and directed towards the outside, like a pathway, which would make the nuances and articulations of the place visible and porous. 

    The idea of infiltrating the place before its destruction drives us. We are invited into someone’s home, into an intimacy that welcomes our own. So we do not wish to work on, but with the not yet forgotten remains of this living place. We want to work with its fullness and emptiness, with the hollows of its memory.”
