Window stickers printed in four-colour process

​

De Nous à Vous (…) is a composition in window stickers specifically designed for the walls of the stairwell in the former hospital. This artistic creation features fragments of texts. These are testimonies collected during participatory workshops involving both caregivers and patients. Albane Monnier explores the poetic nature of moments experienced in the hospital and questions how our bodies perceive and remember these experiences.

Inspired by stained glass and its narrative ability, De Nous à Vous intertwines words and forms through a subtle work with colour. Albane Monnier draws on Sonia Delaunay’s intention to “use colours as words” while applying its counterpart: to use words like colours. In this way, the artist formulates a constant dialogue between the two. She invites us to consider the influence of our sensory experiences both in our perception of the world and in the way we express ourselves.
