Over the course of his residency, Moreau created a series of site-specific textile interventions across Berlin. Working primarily at night, he installed hand-sewn fabric elements in public spaces — a curtain across a pedestrian underpass, embroidered patches on park benches, woven barriers across shortcuts — each designed to gently disrupt habitual patterns of movement and attention.
The interventions were deliberately subtle, more likely to be noticed as a vague sense of something being different than as an obvious artistic gesture. Moreau documented each intervention photographically and through interviews with passersby, capturing the moment of recognition when the familiar becomes strange.
The gallery component of the project displayed these documentary materials alongside the textile works themselves, removed from their original contexts and presented as autonomous objects. This dual presentation highlighted the gap between the intervention as experienced in the city and as viewed in the gallery.
Moreau's project was recognized for its gentle yet incisive critique of urban space and the habits of perception that allow us to move through the world without truly seeing it.
