Azalea

Rhododendron Square is a sort of mini-amphitheatre. It has three entrances by ramps blocked by large flower boxes and terraces. Its floor is covered with a red amalgam. It is a space conducive to games.//////// Eighteen green and red balloons moulded in concrete and with “deflated” shapes as well as three yellow “referee seats” made of planks of wood screwed into the ground, are arranged there. These elements reactivate the notion of play by the object. Only the rules are missing. It is as if this installation is deserted by these players and needs to be reactivated. It invites us to take over the place to invent a new living space on a red square. A sort of artistic playground, this work recaptures the architecture of the site where only the players move, the balloons become perches and the referees become the conductors of an endless game…
