« Museum of the town of Lausanne. Particularly heterogeneous collection (various epochs and sources) whose nature hesitates between a cabinet of curiosities and a freak museum. The scale of this collection in fact thus one of the strange museums more, out of time, or the contemporary art infiltrates as by error of casting. 

Scenario: 
1) Recognition of the natural fake of the place (polder developed on the lake).
2) Development of a heterotopic strategy, tentacular, uncertain, organic.
3) Scenarios of confusion between various natures - built natures (facade in hydro-aeroponic, biodynamic green hairs) and urban, spontaneous, haunted natures, in order to generate a hybrid landscape, non-identifiable.
4) Using the photosynthesis of all green façades to recycle and clean grey water.
5) Introduction of this knotty geometry into indoor morphology of the exhibition rooms. A place where perdition, looseness is plausible, where the tangled up ambulation becomes the support of a collection which is equally so. Complexity is a tool of reprogramming and deprogramming, folding and unfolding.
6) Individual positioning by portable GPS, coupled to an informational PAD. The visitor uses this i-compass to move and get more details (sound and video) on each artwork. »
