The exhibition created for the site at the Moulins Albigeois (the watermills in Albi) presented several works that brought into question: raw materials, economic production, architecture, economy, the environment, social exchanges, democracy and its function. The show was structured around an architectural pathway that made its way through the building. The piece included earlier works such as, the Wind Pavillon, The Coffee Machine; and works made specifically for the Albi watermills: Running Matter and Yellow Cake
Below is a short film extract of the work.
