Villa Romaine, Hyères, France
Together, students from HEAD-Genève and the Ecole Camondo were invited to interact with the garden and rooms of the Villa Romaine by exploring seven rituals around transformation with one single constraint: the installations must be edible, reversible and biodegradable.
Each of the seven groups of students were given a capital sin. From this starting point, they were free to develop a site specific installation involving an edible transformation ritual from a nearby, distant or imagined folklore.
Students were invited to reflect on each stages of the project: the preparation of the scenario of the ritual, the ritual itself & its key stages and finally the virtuous disappearance of the installation. The proposed scenario had to relate both to the villa’s context and the received capital sin.
The week ended with the ingestion of the seven projects.
