Petticoat Government

Deriving from a historical expression of a reversal of power relations, the title suggests a revolution still in progress. It seeks to instil a jocular unease, blurring the fringes between disciplines. The project mixes genres and attitudes as means for questioning complexity and for entering into contact with the worlds with which it relates. Petticoat Government is a transformation of reality through fiction, actively integrating the dimension of orality and storytelling. Brussels, Venice, the Alps in between, and returning via Belgium at BPS22 in Charleroi and then northern France at FRAC Dunkirk, it wants to sow open stories that will thrive on the journey, told chapter after chapter. Unlike a closed work, the Venetian Pavilion is imagined as a stage in a process, a place of passage, with a kaleidoscope perspective. Understood as a tool for diffracting the gaze and enchanting the image of the world, it recalls the co-existence of multiple realities and the variability of ever-shifting colours in the same space-time framework. PG's kaleidoscopic giants offer a pretext for opening up a space of attention to communities and the actors who comprise them.

Beyond stigmatizing individually-based practice, the project selected for the Belgian Pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2024 underlines the feasibility of a collective 'doing together'.
