2:00 - 6.30 pm
Capc Museum, Bordeaux, France.
“In the Barbe à Papa exhibition, in front of her life-size billboard (see Dark Places: part II project), the artist Cécile di Giovanni sets up the site of a convention for an afternoon at the Capc Museum in Bordeaux, France.
With: American Ghost Walk, Frédéric Rochette - Choeur de Gamers, Escape Hunt Bordeaux, Ray Keim and Alexandra Midal.
From this stand will follow a series of activities and discussions related to the murderous hotel of Doctor H. H. Holmes, the first serial killer in the United States: video game, escape game, model building, reading club, guided tour. Thus will emerge the outlines of a temporary community (a fan club) questionning the rewriting of history through games and derivative products.”
