Vous êtes toustes flou·e·s

Straddling cinema and sculpture, Vous êtes toustes flou·e·s is an interactive sound installation. Using their smartphone, the visitor wanders through an extended scenography reminiscent of the atmosphere of a party emptied of its bodies. QR codes scattered over the space provide access to fragments of conversations recorded during student parties: intimate snippets, bursts of voices, nighttime confidences, shared banalities. Visitors are then free to recompose their own narrative based on their journey through the installation.

Blending nostalgia for a past world with personal sound archives, the installation invites viewers to cross the surface of the cinema screen, to become protagonists and to experience a floating, subjective and affective form of storytelling.

The first version of Vous êtes toustes flou·e·s was presented in 2021 as part of Marcelle Germaine’s master’s degree (DNSEP) at the National School of Fine Arts at the Villa Arson in Nice. Spread across three floors, the scenography unfolded through several spaces typical of parties (dance floor, intimate lounge, restrooms), in which seventeen QR codes invited the audience to engage in an active walk-through.

A second version was presented in 2024 as part of Contre-Soirées, an exhibition organized by the collective désamianT. Reconfigured into three sound-based windows accessible day and night, the installation featured twelve QR codes placed on the windows. The posters were designed by graphic designers Mathilde Morel and Barth Cardonne.

The third version is presented in Liège as part of Art au Centre #18, in the windows of a vacant shop located at 107 rue de la Cathédrale. For this new scenography, a graphic collaboration was carried out with students from the Advertising-Graphic Design studio of Liège Academy of Fine Arts, resulting in the creation of all the installation’s posters.
