Simone Decker

Born in 1968 in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembroug).

With Simone Decker's Curtain Wall project, the city of Toulouse becomes the starting point of her intervention and the object of the project itself. It consists of photographs of Toulouse's architecture printed on a scale of 1:1 on thin fabric. These light curtains, attached to existing buildings, float in the wind and thus disturb the recognition of the printed buildings. The transparency of the fabric allows confusion with the existing architecture. By transferring the facades of several buildings to other locations, Simone Decker encourages the inhabitants to imagine a recomposition of the city and to reflect on the existing space. Simone Decker furnishes the city with her own facades, architecture becomes a curtain motif. Public squares are disguised as private spaces, they take on the appearance of a living room.
