The search for shelter

the search for refuge

"In this uncertain world, having some refuge that cannot be destroyed is of paramount importance."
Mary Wollstonecraft

“The Search for Refuge” is a performance by Marie-Noëlle Ginard Féron created in April 2022 around a textile installation in the countryside.

A pile of stones from Can Monroig that were left on the ground more than fifteen years ago, recently rediscovered after clearing bushes and weeds, served as inspiration and starting point for a textile art and performance project around the idea of refuge or non-refuge. The difficulty of feeling good in your own skin, constantly fleeing in search of a place to stay. This video talks about the refuge whose interior is a pile of stones: You can't go in, the interior is hard and inhospitable but you end up embracing it as the only possible alternative.
