Ine van Son

This installation arose during my AIR in France in 2017, in close collaboration with Emmanuel Memin and Pascale Memin=Lusseau.

The hous of my host and hostess Manu and Pascale had to be renovated. The attic was cleared and appeared to carry belongings of former residents.

In times past, the house was bought by Pascale and Manu from 'oncle Eugène', an uncle of Pascale. His old bedstead appeared among all kind of objects.

Now old stories about his life, his (family) history and therewith the history of the house came to life again.

We concluded that the bedstead belonged here. That it is part of this location. And we decided to reserve a spot for in in the courtyard. So Eugène will be able to stay. If he wishes to.

Take a look at the video I recorded. And feel the special ambiance created by this bedstead with its former owner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgy-icZDUIs&t=5s
