At Home is a town made up of a succession of elements inspired by various hat forms suggesting urban and industrial architecture. The standardization and globalisation of the urban fabric appears through the materials used in the construction of the town: the knitted video tape. Usually video is used as a medium to transmit information, like the unravelling of a spool of thread as it leads us through a story or event. Here the tape becomes the link between the buildings of the town and constitutes a network between 15 forms whose organization is based on the structure of the DNA chain thus referring to the infinitely small size of genetic information codes.
At Home is built from encounters and exchanges, through the setting up of a network of knitters, both men and women, thus creating a sort of human and social woven fabric around my presence during my residency at the Calder Workshop in Saché.
