Thomas Liu Le Lann, invited for a “Carte Blanche” by the Republic and Canton of Geneva, in collaboration with Présence Suisse, will present a permanent video installation GYM as part of the Maison Suisse Paris during the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The work features participants with limited skills in a pastel blue gymnasium, where badminton merges with meditation, reiki, lymphatic massages and dance.
This summer, Maison Suisse is set up in the garden of the Swiss Embassy in Paris, in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, near the Hôtel des Invalides. This temporary national pavilion will be a place of meetings and events celebrating Switzerland and its diversity during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
