Through a long work of investigation and collection, the two visual artists Charlotte Perrin and Hélène Bellenger respectively question the visual and formal structures of our daily lives. If Perrin digs into archives and user manuals to better reclaim materials and play with the history of techniques, architecture and furniture, Bellenger seizes a series of advertisements for anxiolytics and antidepressants, dated from the years 1970 to 2000 and collected in the documentation fund of the psychiatric hospital, to question more broadly the representation of a standardized happiness.
