Le Fauteuil à Poulettes
Year : 2012
Team : Daria Lafosse & Liudmila Safina
Site : Villeurbanne, suburb of Lyon
This art project “Poulette’s Armchair” was created together with artist Daria Lafosse during the studio of Claire Mitout “Art corporel”. After the study, the site we were working on, is appeared to be unfriendly to pedestrians with a lack of urban furniture. The solid walls of an industrial site along the narrow sidewalk, 64 m long did not make possible any interaction. A few passers-by did not have any choice but crossing quickly this urban vacuum. The project aims to create a place for interaction. Two armchairs create a small living room at a bus stop. The ad inviting to come and take an armchair in exchange for a short conversation was published in a city newspaper before head.
