Maison Louis Carré, Bazoches-sur-Guyonne
with Association Alvar Aalto en France

Mobile Composition is an installation and parallel publication focusing on the interior of Alvar Aalto’s Maison Louis Carré and the art collection of Louis Carré, a Paris art dealer for whom the house was built. The project works with the posthumous dispersal of the collection and is an attempt to reconvene it through other means.
