‘The Best of all Worlds' by Didier Faustino

21 October - 4 December 2011

Paris

From 21st October to 4th December 2011, Didier Faustino presents ‘The Best of all Worlds' an installation designed for Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine in the framework of IFA.’

In search of this ideal space where exchanges and confrontations take shape, The Best of all Worlds positions bodies and their phantoms to give them a voice. In the midst of the museum’s collections, the saga seems to gather spectators.

Whilst projections of other architectures seem compromised, The Best of all Worlds is perfectly situated in the exhibition. A gathering of bodies where individuals discuss ‘body pleasure’ and ‘corps delicto.’

It is conceived as the distorted reflection of a meeting, a gathering place, a place to exchange ideas, for dialogue and discussion where power is exercised. This 'micro- nation' with blurred contours, questions our use of debating. The strange and fragile proportions of this unison on the brink of collapse, invites the spectator to project themselves failing taking part.
