LAURIS, FRANCE 1 000 Portraits - 6 au 9 Juillet 2016
WE DEFEND OUR CASTLE WITH 1000 SMILES IN LAURIS
IN SMILE WE TRUST
Lauris is a small village but living in the shadow of the next village, Lourmarin. Because of this situation, some wrong ideas about our city emerged, and I see a lot of people being sad about it. I think INSIDE OUT PROJECT can give some joy to people of Lauris
- How was your experience with Inside Out - Highlights?
Achieving a collage of more than 1000 portraits was the most human and amazing experience of my life because nobody believed in it at first. My team even said I was crazy to do it. The feeling of completing the project was sensational.
- What was the impact of your group action? How did people react?
Our team had a lot of solidarity! At the end of the festival, everyone was moved to both laughter and tears. It was beautiful!
- Can you still observe the impact/consequences of your Inside Out today?
Lauris's castle, which used to be deserted, welcomed a lot of visitors during the summer thanks to our project. We received a lot of gratitude from the inhabitants, the schools, the associations etc.
