3 pavilions, 3 countries, 3 flags. 100 chairs, 8 colors.

Outside the three pavilions of Spain, Belgium and The Netherlands 100 bistro chairs are placed along the walkway that leads to the Central Pavilion. Each chair is painted with one of the 8 colors that compose the flags of the three countries.
After visiting the exhibitions inside the pavilions, the visitors can grab a chair, move it closer to another one and so, to another person.
The simple act of sitting together and talking.
When two chairs meet, colors are mixed, flags blended, cultures merged and experiences shared.
The confident gesture of opening the folded chair is a choice of sharing, a new step.
The bistro chair is an icon, it belongs to the garden or in general to exterior spaces.
Chairs come together if only people come together. Their displacement brings the countries together, transforming the installation into an unconscious performance.
