SITUATION BANKAL_001, homage to unknown designer [though Italian],
formal and gesture based research into the everyday baguette,
how can it be carried ?, placed ? and shared ?

SITUATION BANKAL_002, distributor bankal.: « totem dédié aux consommateurs inconnus. »
An automated dispensing machine where 250 objects selected by bankal. paris are displayed and sold within 2m3.

mes chers organisateurs,
it is not a simple equation and everything is meaningful.
is consumerism a useful means to validate existence?
there is ultimately deception hidden behind every commercial purchase.
re. subject / object.is the subject simply to sell I think not.
communication is important and questioning why...is this a deliberate act.
can we imagine another form of interaction with the "client / consumer".
can we imagine a form of pro-summer, a hybrid between consummation and production.
our work involves / demands interaction, thus, the notion of any
window presents a problem. design is not image!
evidently each and every element was carefully chosen.
but however the choice of sachet for the bhv window in itself was arbitrary.

kind regards, bankal.paris.
