Talk Engenders
FASHION, JOURNALISM, FEMINISM MEET
TECHNOMATERIALISM, ANTI-NATURALISM, AND GENDER ABOLITIONISM
1998 TALKS AROUND THE VILLA LEMOINE:
“CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT” HE TOLD THE ARCHITECT, “I DO NOT WANT A SIMPLE HOUSE. I WANT A COMPLEX HOUSE, BECAUSE THE HOUSE WILL DEFINE MY WORLD…”. THEY BOUGHT A MOUNTAIN WITH PANORAMIC VIEW OVER THE CITY. A MACHINE IS ITS HEART.
2O YEARS LATER IN VILLA LEMOINE OVERLOOKING BOURDAUX COCO CHANEL WHILE DRINKING A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE AND READING THROUGH XENOFEMINIST MANIFESTO LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS:
"I ONLY DRINK CHAMPAGNE ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN I AM IN LOVE AND WHEN I AM NOT."
THIS IS HOW OUR ADVENTURE STARTED.
LITTLE BLACK DRESS TALKS COLOURFULLY
CHARACTER 1: COCO CHANEL, A PERSON AND A BRAND
WHAT IS THE NEW FACE OF COCO CHANEL ABOUT? WHAT ARE ITS DRIVES, OBSESSIONS, COLOURS, ASPIRATIONS? SHE CAN BE ANYONE SHE DESIRES!
CONCEPTUALISE THE FACE/BRAND OF COCO CHANEL IN XENOFEMINIST TERMS.
WHAT DOES SHE WANT TO SAY TO THE WORLD?
WHICH CONCEPTS SHE WANTS TO WORK WITH?
A POLITICS FOR ALIENATION DOPES RETROACTIVE MANIFESTO
CHARACTER 2: VILLA LEMOINE, A HOUSE, A HOME, OR MORE?
WHAT IS THE NEW FACE OF VILLA LEMOINE?
TALK TO KOOLHAAS’ HOUSE? THE HOUSE WELCOMES COCO CHANEL AND BECOMES MORE.
ALIENATE THE HOUSE, SPATIALISE COCOS CONCEPTS, WELCOME XENOFEMINISM!
HOW IS COCO TALKING TO THE CITY, AND THE WORLD? HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE ACCOMMODATE THE TALKS?
XENOFEMINIST MANIFESTO INHABITS THE GENERIC CITY
THE TALK ENGENDERS; CONSTITUTION; THE TALK; THE PROJECT; THE ARCHITECT
THE TALK BETWEEN COCO AND THE HOUSE IN XENOFEMINIST TERMS.
HOUSE DEMANDS FROM COCO, COCO DEMANDS FROM THE HOUSE, XENOFEMINISM SETS THE TABLE.
ARTICULATE THIS DELICATE BALANCE, CONSTITUTE A WELL TEMPERED ENVIRONMENT
CITY - HOUSE - CHAMBERS - COCO
ROAD - WALL - GARDEN - HOUSE
S5 Episode 2 : on images
A XENO-SHOW(S)
I SEE THAT COCO AND THE VILLA ARE DIFFERENT, YET THEY BOTH DEMAND MORE FROM THE WORLD. FERACIOUS IN THE DISCOURSES, THEIR VOICES CALL FOR A FUTURE THAT CELEBRATES THE DIFFERENCES AND STAYS WITH THE TROUBLE OF LIVING. COCO CONFRONTS THE VILLA WITH HER RITES. THE VILLA CONFRONTS COCO WITH ITS MACHINES. I START TO SHOW HOW THESE CONVERSATIONS CHANGE THE IMAGES OF THE VILLA.
I SHOW A CATALOG OF ELEMENTS FOR COCO'S NEW HOME. I PRESENT WITH EXAMPLES WHAT THE FAÇADES, COMPARTITIONS, WALLS, ROOFS AND OPENINGS MAY LOOK LIKE. FROM THE CATALOG, THE FORMS OF THE XENO-VILLA WILL BE ENGENDERED.
I SHOW A MOVIE ABOUT THE VILLA’S AND COCO'S ALIENATION. I PRESENT WITH EXISTING SCENOGRAPHIES, OBJECTS/SUBJECTS, ACTIONS, DIALOGUES AND SOUNDS, THE TROUBLES OF LIVING TOGETHER. FROM THE MOVIE, A XENOFEMINIST STORY WILL ENGENDER SENSE.
PANORAMAS OF CINEMA —A VIDÉOTHÈQUE, SEARCH ENGINE, AND PANORAMA CREATOR— WILL ASSIST ME.
S5 Episode 3 : ON MODELS
THE XENO play(S)
ON THE STAGING OF THE HOUSE
ON THE SCREENING OF THE TALKS
ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE project
MODULE 3 FOCUSES ON THE COMPOSITION OF AN ARCHITECTURAL MODEL THAT LOOKS BOTH AT AND THROUGH THE PANORAMAS FROM THE FIRST TWO MODULES. stages are located, screens are activated, scenes are rendered. AN APPROXIMATION DEMONTABLÉ CONSISTING OF MANY POSSIBLE RENDERINGS, THE COMPOSURE OF WHICH COMES FROM THE PROJECTIVE STREAMS BETWEEN THAT WHICH IS HEARD, AND THAT WHICH IS SEEN.
A PLAY WITH TOYS, GAMES, AND TOOLS.
A PLAY OF TEXTURES, MODELS, AND STYLES.
A PLAY IS PAINTED, ASSEMBLED, AND SCULPTED
