Who says you can’t touch the exhibits? In 1995, the first “Take Me (I’m Yours)” exhibition took place in London and has since become a legend. And 20 years later, here is the sequel, in Paris. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to touch, take, eat or even drink the works of art instead of just looking at them passively.

What is a living sculpture? Can time be represented? What should be the lifespan of a work of art? Who can say do not touch the works? Can stealing an idea be justified?
The LIVE ART documentary collection attempts to answer these questions by focusing on works referred to as “ephemeral”. These presentations and performances exist only for the duration of an exhibition then disappear, to be – perhaps – recreated in another location. From New York to Istanbul, from the São Paulo Biennial to the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, this documentary series makes us question the place of art in our lives and the significance of the staging, the venue and the role of the visitor for an exhibition.

This episode is the fifth of the “Live Art” series.
