Travel between languages

This project aimed to integrate literature and poetry into public space, in multiple languages, to encourage dialogue between cultures.

Implemented across four Switzerland  cities, the interventions were installed on a variety of urban surfaces—including building façades, benches, walls, and school columns. Handwritten texts interacted with the architecture, functions, and context of each location, bringing the richness of poetry and literature into everyday public life.

Although temporary, these installations sought to enrich the urban experience through an artistic, sensitive, and cultural approach.

Team: Ruedi Baur, Karelle Ménine, Anouck Fenech, Afrouz Razavi, Eddy Terki, Danielle Rosales.
In collaboration with Intégral Ruedi Baur and Civic-City, 2016–2017.
