The Foot Bank

The Foot Bank

The Foot Bank is a participatory action that offers visitors the opportunity to symbolically take possession of the Internet by "setting foot on it", in the manner of an explorer setting foot on a new land for the first time.

With the increasing importance of technology in everyday life, our mobility is greatly reduced, with less strain on the organs needed to walk. By exposing feet, Fred Forest mischievously points out the risk of seeing them relegated to the museum. At the same time, he makes them precious elements, against the tide of their place in the collective imagination, often trivial or even negative. 

Call for participation at the Foot Bank
(deodorized upon arrival)

HOW TO USE THE FOOT BANK:

1. Sit down and remove your shoe from your right Foot.
2. Place your Barefoot on a sheet of A4 paper and draw the outline of its footprint. 
3. Add your first or last name (never your last name).
4. According to your preferred technique, create your work inside the Foot without exceeding the imprint: pen, marker, watercolor, wash, painting, photography, digital practices, collages, etc. All techniques are accepted.
5. Once your creation is complete, scan or take a picture of it with your smartphone and send your scan or photo via form or email (above).

Your Foot will finally appear on your smartphone or computer screen in the Feet Bank Gallery
