‘The Little Red Schoolhouse, Eden’, 2016 by SYLVAIN COUZINNET-JACQUES

“. . . COUZINET-JACQUES purchased a small, historical building in Eden, North Carolina, as a site for an immersive exploration of the ideas of property, community, and image-making. The resultant output is eclectic . . . the better to articulate and grapple with the often contradictory theme of utopia and home, the inevitable gaps between representation and reality, and the work of art as a means of re-enchantment.”
