« To sew one's story »

Centre Hospitalier Saint Jean de Dieu

Since 1998, Michel Jeannès and the collective La Mercerie have been exploring social relations using the button as a mediating object. Stated by the artist as "Smallest Common Cultural Object", it becomes revealing of memories and vector of intergenerational links. In the heart of the hospital, this living work invites everyone to tell their story.
