SECONDE PEAU
SOFT WALLS, PATCH.E.S AND SOAP
with Benoit Pieron
Year 2021
Paris
Seconde Peau, presented at the Cite Internationale des Arts in May 2021, is a spatial conversation between Nathalie Harb and Benoit Pieron, on the limits of the notion of home and the boundaries of intimacy in the hospital and other visceral landscapes.
The surface of encounter is the textile, the blanket or the curtain, second skin or soft walls, at the limit of the body or the habitat.
The work also explores the invisible communities who provided care during the pandemic and the precocity of homeless conditions.
