Habiter le campement exhibition

The exhibition Habiter le campement (Living in the camp) questions the new spaces and life of nomadic populations. This exile, often hoped to be temporary, has evolved into a permanence that obliges its inhabitants to create a new societal mode.

The panorama is exposed on scaffolding, obvious symbols of temporary constructions. The structure, conceived by 1024 architecture, proposes a linear path made of words, quotations and questions, from which are extracted paths to other worlds, rich in photos – those of the camps.

David Benmussa set the graphics and signage for the exhibition with several weights of Tuner, possibly because the uppercase A looks like a house or a tent, dwellings depicted in the exhibition. Titles are set in full caps, with each letter missing a part, like a building being erected or deconstructed. They are paired with abstract pictographic glyphs probably mimicking the “hobo signs”.
