The plot
Steady in a halo of light, a punching-ball displays its voice annoying people around. Exposed to beatings, impotent, it alternates provocations and supplications, and reveals its dual personality: perverse and masochistic.
“Fais-moi mal” is first of all a sound piece, a ready-made, with an added voice. This piece discusses the concept of interactivity in a funny and provocative way, it only reacts to the most primary instincts: to strike with force. The viewer must get physically involved to interact with the piece or has to accept to be insulted in impunity.
Fais-moi mal! is an interactive installation by Virginie Le Gall and Manuel Braun.
