ABOUT
Based on interviews conducted in Pâquis, the sex workers' territory, “Quand je passe” examines the issues at stake in the population's projections of the identity embodied by these women, the fantasies conveyed, their (in)visibility but also the fears.
“Quand je passe” is an immersive, polyphonic performative installation, constructed from audio and visual testimonials. Alongside Johana Hoyos and Piti Pietru, the choreographer Nina Vallon, video artist Mireille Huguet and researcher Mélanie Fréguin invite the public to change their gaze, to question themselves, to shift the focus and to question the immaterial border that keeps the other at a distance.
“Quand je passe” is presented alongside a photographic exhibition by Rebecca Bowring in collaboration with Piti Pietru and Johana Hoyos, and a round-table discussion on “The (in)visible role of sex workers”.
