Philomène Le Baron — The Living Room, 2020

The domestic space of the living room is here rethought and redefined through the materiality of kitsch. Each object proposes a story and a game of scale and textures.

The living room is a fascinating domestic space, between a performance and an exhibition space. It is often in the living room that we receive guests. This place of sharing is central to our living since the time of the Victorian’s bourgeoisie, which also points to the beginning of the world of kitsch. Here kitsch is used as a new material and its characteristics are staged. The codes of dinners and social moments of receptions are replayed through the composition of this space and its accumulation of references.
