#badtimestory


#badtimestory is a public work, a participatory performance, a video installation in the urban space, a work which develops in its creative process and changes in the urban space. as health conditions change. 


Since Saturday 17 October 2020, a curfew has been imposed in Paris and other 8 cities in France (Lyon, Grenoble, Saint-Etienne, Aix-Marseille, Lille, Rouen, Toulouse and Montpellier). This decision, which should have lasted a minimum of four weeks, has just been stopped in order to restore generalised containment in France. The idea of this project was born out of the fact that during the curfew, between 9 pm and 6 am each was ordered to stay at home in the areas concerned. With a feeling of Punishment almost, our lives were suddenly reduced to the rhythm of "metro, boulot, dodo" (commute, work, sleep/ the rat race) . 

Today, as a result of new government decisions, the citizens are again projected into the lockdown experience. This new confinement is based on two fundamental points: school and work. We are once again confronted with anxieties about survival and precariousness, between the fear of getting sick and to lose our jobs. Culture, is once again among the sectors most heavily impacted by these seemingly inevitable decisions. 

#badtimestory is a project of resistance and resilience, but also of shared poetic reflection. 

The whole DOMUS team that actively participates in the projections and the creation of the participatory performance of the resistance: every evening at 9.30 pm we will read you a bedtime story before going to bed. This moment of reading will, once again, be projected onto the walls of Paris. 

Once again, we will invite our colleagues and friends to participate in this nocturnal narration. and to this story of confined lives, before going to bed, in order to leave a trace of the present time and denounce the extreme choices that governments are asking us to accept: Bad Time Story. 







Since October 17th, we have been screening readings of :
