“Think of the person next to you in the train. Think of the waiter of the restaurant you’re having lunch at. Think of the hierarchical superior of your banker. Think of your colleagues. Think of your neighbour. How do they live, what’s in their fridge, what do they watch on TV? Who avoids answering questions, who uses double locks to hide away in the evening? For her solo exhibition, Florence Jung imagines ten scenarios that take place around the Fondation Pernod Ricard and stages individuals who live, work or frequent the neighbourhood.”
