Webcam project
scale model of the museum room, miniature paintings,webcam
Festival Accès-s, Musée des Beaux Arts de Pau (Frankreich)

A miniature model of the orientalism room of the Musée des Beaux Arts de Pau is curated and installed by children the way they play with a doll house. A webcam films the space and links the fake freestyle museum on the museum website as a real space . The miniature paintings are small reproductions of the original artworks from the museums Orientalism collection. The children were free to decide about the hanging and placement of the paintings (walls, floor, ceiling), they could change and overpaint them or paint their own interpretations.
