Since 1998, the artist Michel Jeannès and the collective La Mercerie have been developping a participatory work. The button, as PPOCC, Smallest Common Cultural Object (Plus Petit Objet Culturel Commun), a narrative vector that can awaken memories. The button box is perceived as a "memory box" and an object of intergenerational transmission. The exhibition will present several facets of this poetic, social and participatory work. Stories and testimonies will be collected during the exhibition from residents of the neighborhood and hospital actors.
At the end of the "talk (about themselves)" cycle developed in Saint Jean de Dieu (2024-2026), this work-in-progress is reactivated in the Bazar of the hospital, at the heart of a place of care that places the human relationship at the center of its issues and maintains a strong rapport with listening and singular speech.
