The Home : Loyers, expériences, lieux

For Manifesta 13 Marseille, an apartment situated in Bel Horizon explored and reimagined our contemporary notion of the Home.

The Bel Horizon tower was built by architect Dunoyer de Segonzac in the 3rd district of Marseille, St Lazare. It is an “Immeuble de Grande Hauteur” (skyscraper) composed of two residential buildings: Bel Horizon 1 built in 1956 with 76 apartments and Bel Horizon 2 built in 1962 with 57 apartments.

Bel Horizon is part of a national programme of rehabilitation. Several cultural actors such as Les têtes de l’art have created participative artistic initiatives in Bel Horizon. Moreover, the building’s location and immense view upon Marseille have captured many film directors’ attention to shoot couple of scenes.

As part of the plot The Home of the central programme Traits d’union.s, the venue will receive the installation The Keepers and the participatory performance The Gravity by the artist Arseny Zhilyaev* (1984, RU).

Venue is not accessible to visitors with disabilities.
