Jean-Pascal Flavien: A Sequence or Phrase [Paperback]

Jean-Pascal Flavien‘s work involves the design and conception of houses that produce a particular situation of living. A form of thinking gives rise to a form of living and dwelling, and the use of these houses furthers this approach to thinking by experimenting with the space, by writing, films, etc. Four houses have been realised thus far: the viewerin Rio de Janeiro in 2007, the no drama housein Berlin in 2009, the two persons housein Sao Paulo in 2010, and the breathing housein Pougues-les-Eaux in France in 2012. Each house suggests a specific perspective on the world by proposing different types of interaction through language, space, gesture or mediation of the activities that take place within it. This catalogue is an arrangement of independent parts put next to one another, or side-by-side, like a parataxis, following the development of the no drama houseand the breathing house.
