CAMILLE GOUVINE

From 13 April to 29 August 2016, the exhibition called Habiter le Campement took place in Paris. More than on a temporary habitat, the latter put forward modes of living at the initiative of the population. Sometimes in response to emergency situations such as refugee camps, sometimes protest movements as for the Indignados these different occupations of the space have had the peculiarity of emancipating themselves from the politicians or planners to exist.

In May 2016, I build a completely removable and transportable structure that I can install in town. Composed solely of its skeleton, this structure, as its name indicates, is investable by anyone who meets it in the public space. On May 19, 2016, the latter stopped Place de la République in Caen, a meeting point for Nuit Debout (French movement bringing together a group of events, manifestations and meetings in public squares). On that day it assumes the role of a library, a documentary background to the event.
