What is this orange color in a blue and white village?
This year we opted for orange. Last year it was white. We want multiple projects to be one at the end. To unify them, we will opt in an aesthetic way for the monochrome.
For this time, we opted for orange, the complement of Blue, for even more radiation and in order to be in line with the site of Sidi Bou Said. In contrast, the idea is also to disrupt the color identity of Sidi Sousiad.
Will the procession be rescheduled or can it be reprogrammed?
As teachers, we wanted this final work in plastic art to be in line with the site of Sidi Bousaid and the architectural space. We wanted to work “in situ”. We will work to keep this idea out of school and make it like a kind of ritual.
It’s extremely interesting to get out of college and go against the street and people. We need openness to the world and the universe
