“The exhibition brings together the film Arrangements (2012) and the installation Home-Scape (2005). The former follows the transformations of a small house through the 20th century to the present day. Entirely realized in the studio, it places the notion of décor at the center of autobiographical and historical interrogations. Until she was a teenager, Hélène Agofroy lived opposite the factory to which her house was attached. From these memories, she has extracted an element, the only one to have survived the end of the textile industry: this small building, now relocated at the foot of tennis courts, a kind of “house-witness” to the transition from industry to leisure. As for Home-Made (2003), an envelope containing a cardboard model of the house mentioned above was given to each participant, who took it with them on their travels. They were then invited to build it and position it in the places or situations of their choice, documenting their action with photos or videos posted on the dedicated website. ”
