Inaugural Week – Self-theatricalization

Workshop HEAD – Genève / École Camondo

The space granted to video conferences is paradoxical; while we are brought to exchange from our interiors, the image returned online is too often that of a generic and impersonal decor. During the inaugural week of 2020, the students of the Master program in interior architecture, in collaboration with the students of the Camondo school, and with the support of Léonid Slonimskiy and Paul Marchesseau, made proposals for a new typology of spaces intended to host their exchanges in video conferences. They explored various isolation or staging strategies in order to propose twelve different approaches. Their proposals are located between the wallpaper, the furniture, and the cabin, which allow to consider our online representation from new perspectives.
