PAROLE - Champ-dollon 1/24 - Swiss Art Awards
Genève, Switzerland
Photography by Dylan Perrenoud and Nicolas Haeni
Somewhere Between the area of scientific experimentation and the socio-psychological testscarried out byStanley Milgram or Philip Zimbardo in the 1970’s, PAROLEis a proposal to open the debate of commitment in the field of architecture. Using a partial reproduction of the Geneva prison of Champ-Dollon, today known for its maximum occupancy ratios, adapted precisely to the scale of laboratory mice (1:24), PAROLE is an attempt demonstrates how architecture can seize to the question in hand.
In the tradition of sculptural architecture as defined by Michel Ragon in the sixties, formal experiments can be utilised in order to revealengagement in the face of social and political issues of any historical time. PAROLE is a symbolical object that defines itself along the borders of artculture, architectural models and a constrained living space: the cage.
The fragility of its architecture is a reflection of the precarious situation of a profession sitting uneasily between cultural and historical roots and the inevitable search for power and control, between the architect builder and the utopist one systematically refusing the system.
