"Le Serpent des Vœux" is intended to be a participatory exhibition, not just a contemplative one, and you are invited to become an integral part of it. Each visitor can add a scale to the Serpent, inscribing a wish, a word or a thought, while the calligrapher creates the evolving work live, opening up a collective creative space.

From an unfinished work, it will eventually carry the wishes of hundreds of people, giving it meaning thanks to your intentions and stories. We've added our own and glued it to the snake's tail, so now all you have to do is do the same, to bring it to life!
