The Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration in Paris, France's national museum of immigration, commissioned Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to create work that would translate its own concerns of immigration, otherness, territory and borders. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui together with video artist Gilles Delmas created a gigantic, three-dimensional multimedia installation, La Zon-Mai (French reverse slang for Mai-son, house) that was at the crossroads between architecture, visual art and dance. They invited 21 artists, all first or second-generation immigrants, to grapple with notion of 'home', filming them in the intimacy of their homes (real or temporary) – dancing in bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, on dining tables or by the bathroom mirror. The films were then projected in a loop on the four walls and roof of La Zon-Mai, a building with no doors and windows, but whose exterior reveals the inner world of its inhabitants without ever physically allowing the viewer to step through its threshold.

Premiere: 15 March 2007, La Condition Publique - Roubaix (FR)
