It is this story, this living but fragile portion of human memory that we listen to and discover here. We find ourselves turned into actors of this oral tradition, real links in this chain of transmission of knowledge. Here are some special lay out which contributes to this feeling and complete the conversation experience:

1. The « Alcoves »
A confessional atmosphere materialized by a dark room . The objective is to "isolate" the visitor in a person to person relationship. To give the feeling that this person is telling a story to me, the visitor . visual >>

2. The « Living portraits  »
Using plasma screen, we are presenting a video sequence of a story teller. This sequence is composed by two loops. One static and one active. When the visitor is passing in front of the screen, he is sensored by infrared detectors of the active loop and the story teller starts to speak to the visitor. visual >>

3. The « sound well  »
A black curtain cylinder with one big round photo at the ceiling and echo sounds of a mother calling her child. visual >>
