Postcards From The Desert Island

Description

Postcards from the Desert Island documents a 3-week workshop with students from the École Vitruve, an experimental, self-run elementary school in Paris. Inspired in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, the artist asked the pupils to turn the school hall into a desert island, and to relate themselves to such new territory. The video documents the children's organisational methods, their approaches to the problematics raised by self-governance and by the possibility of imagining institutions and social relations from scratch.
