LES MOTS is the outcome of a participatory exhibition and event centred on collective text creation. Visitors were invited to engage with a “puddle” of words, shaping their own expressions by arranging them freely across white walls.
Over the course of a single evening, more than fifty compositions emerged—ranging from the evocative to the surreal, the humorous to the obscure. Language became a truly tangible and shared material, continuously reinterpreted and reassembled in a living process of meaning-making. The edition is a snapshot of spontaneous creativity, collective authorship, and the relational potential of words when released from individual control.
