Swiss Love exhibition pavilion, Swiss Life, Expo.02, Yverdon-les-Bains

The Expo.02 pavilion Swiss Love is located under the existing roofs of the Arteplage Yverdon. The façade winds like a film strip around the volumes of the 12 cinemas planned here and defines a foyer with a gallery and two changing zones. Swiss Love is a movie that simultaneously tells four stories in three acts. After each act, the viewer is given the opportunity to decide which plot or which character they would like to follow. They then choose the appropriate room for their decision in the alternating zone. At the end, the partitions between the last four rooms open and all viewers experience the same happy ending together, regardless of their paths.
