" (Mat)9is(ch)! " is an interactive work that invites us to explore the most precious space in the home: the living room. This sacred place, reserved for adults and visitors, is a space of prohibition for children. The artist challenges the codes and prejudices that children are confronted with, inviting us to "enter" this living room to discover the constraints experienced by the youngest. As a provocation to the established rules, the artist invites visitors to "touch" the work to reveal the words a child might hear in this context.
