"Me, student" from Violaine Desportes and Hélène Courtel

During the presentation of this series in Roubaix, Lille and Paris, Violaine Desportes noticed that many spectators spontaneously confided their schoolboy memories after discovering her work.

At the invitation of Valérie Eymeric, and as part of "Résonance", the artist wants to give a place to these voices (a schoolboy, a pensioner, a teacher, a nurse, an accountant, etc.), a nurse, an accountant, etc.) for whom the school bag is a special, symbolic, multiple symbolic, multiple, poetic - a reservoir of stories. The collected and assembled by Hélène Courtel as a sensitive archive sensitive archives that need to be preserved and shared in the common in the common space of the Cabinet of Curiosity.

The show unfolds in two stages. First, the spectator becomes a listener to the testimonies. Faced with a blank sheet of paper, headphones on, hear the story, the account, the testimony of a pencil case owner. The white sheet, like the "white cube", as a projection surface, will become the space on which spectators invent a mental image of the object described. In a second stage, the spectator becomes an actor. The memory journey continues in an isolated and protective space within which, based on three questions asked, she/he will be invited to leave a sound trace of the memories that are the holes.
