Le Plus Habité is a short stop-motion film and installation that questions and transfigures the contemporary system of the living room. “Le Plus Habité” is a term coined by architect Augustin-Charles d’Aviler in the 17th century to describe rooms that were meant to be the most lived in, to differentiate them from display rooms. In this piece, the term gains a new meaning, as the viewers are pushed to question the purpose of the space and its livability.
The film, created collaboratively by Shira Yavor, Brandon Latcham and Rashmi Baird explores the relationship between a man-made living environment and nature, and aims to blur the lines between human and non-human environments. The film acts as a dream seeking to bridge the gap between the domestic and organic environments, harmoniously. The work is inspired by nature, specifically animal behaviors related to self-made habitats from found objects and materials.
