The Hair Salon space is inspired by familiar scenes from the street—makeshift outdoor salons where hairdressers set up their stations in public spaces informally recognized and frequented by local women. Like other installations in the NOIRES series, the floor is covered in earth or sand, and loose electrical wires hang from above, visually linking the piece to the surrounding street environment.


The setup includes two chairs: one for the stylist, one for the client. Nearby, a painted plastic crate holds a calabash filled with hair essentials—combs, creams, oils, gel, and decorative beads. Bundles of colorful synthetic hair from the Expression brand are laid out, ready to use.


In front of the client’s chair stands a mirror, propped up with found bricks. On the back, the artist has painted her signature sun motif. The space evokes a familiar scene of everyday care—raw, practical, and full of memory.



L’espace de la coiffeuse s’inspire des scènes de rue où des coiffeuses aménagent leur espace de travail dans l’espace publique, un lieu reconnu de manière informelle par les habitantes. Comme dans d’autres installations de NOIRES, le sol est recouvert de terre ou de sable, et des fils électriques pendent au plafond, créant une continuité visuelle avec les autres espaces de la rue.

L’installation est composée de deux chaises : l’une pour la coiffeuse, l’autre pour la cliente. À côté, une calebasse posée sur une cagette en plastique peinte contient le nécessaire pour coiffer : peignes, crème, huile, gel, perles. Des mèches de cheveux synthétiques de la marque Expression, de différentes couleurs, sont prêtes à l’emploi.

Face à la chaise de la cliente, un miroir est maintenu par des briques récupérées. Au dos, l’artiste a peint son motif emblématique : un soleil. L’ensemble évoque un espace de soin quotidien, à la fois brut, fonctionnel et chargé de mémoire.
