Synopsis
In an agular contruction of 20m2 built after the mesures of a real house two house movers are in action. They arrange the space following the criteria of six situations. One situation follows the other. The 1st evokes a pavillon for lunch in summer, the 2nd a refuge during the war, the 3rd the canteen of a factory, the 4th a storage room and a children’s playground, the 5th the displacement and reconstruction. The last one recalls a tennis club and ends with a slideshow that offers an interpretation of the house’s mobility: we see a cardbord model of the house that was photographed around the globe.
