about

Creative workshop in association with 8 women from North Africa produced by Collectif MU for Plateforme Siwa : from february to may 2010, in the 17th arrondissement (Paris). Installation shown on June 27 and 28 2010 at the Bouffes du Nord theater.

In “Thinking of You” we worked with women of North African origin usually cut off from the cultural scene and whose relationship with society is problematic, giving them the opportunity to interact with contemporary artists, here the parisian MU Collective.
By working to involve the women closely and by combining social issues and aesthetic experiences, the project frees art from its usually settings. By developing critical thinking, it both introduces a collective recognition of the necessity of art and attributes political legitimacy to involvement in its creation.

For this artistic experience that lasted three months, women were given a sound recorder to record the sounds of their private sphere (in their homes), and subsequently have others listen to their experiences. The recorded materials was then shared during the experimental workshops the women participate in. A portrait of each woman has be en produced, to be filmed in their building stairwell and to last three minutes, which is the length of the electric timer on the light.
Based on this work, a sound and image installation (the women in sounds and images) was produced for audiences.
