Baptist Coelho: MAPPING(THOUGHTS)

A while ago, a friend informed me about this project. I had forgotten about it till today, when I had the discussion with Danika about form. Thought I'd share. Quite interestingly put together.

MAPPING (THOUGHTS), is a multi-disciplinary project which explores the concept of random thought as part of the social and political commentary of the diverse people living in Switzerland. Collaborations were sought from people all over Switzerland, who share a common thread through generations; practicing and creating similar vocations and experiences. The thoughts collected are also a reflection for future generations. A part of this project was realised specifically in Bern and involved the participation of people using the trams there. The work was exhibited in Grand Palais (an art space, which originally functioned as a waiting room and office for the Tram Company).

Here is the link for the exhibition images on facebook.
