Invited to make a work in the old medina of Tunis
I chose to install my atelier in a 18th century palace
Next to a carpenter, a shoemaker and a tile painter
And conduct a research for a future project that will happen in 2019
Working with recently graduated architecture students, the work evolved to become a research on the nostalgia of future thinking
When the only imaginable future is the past
Then where are we now?
The work-in-progress was presented in the form of a lecture-performance.
