Wyfy
Biennale de Lyon, 2007
Performance and film.
WYFY® is a very simple, effective, and free therapeutic technique: lie down on a special WYFY® couch scientifically designed by Stéphan BARRON near a psychoanalyst’s office or another therapist’s office. Relax and begin your WYFANALYSE®.
Stéphan BARRON will be setting up shop during the Lyon Biennale near a therapist’s office in the city. He will begin his WYFANALYSE® therapy by testing the therapist’s connections and abilities.
If other people want to try WYFY®, they are invited to try this 21st-century couch.
The action carried out by Stéphan BARRON has a double meaning. It is an irreverent tribute to psychoanalysis and a critique of the “psycho society” that wants to cure everything, divulge all secrets in the name of collective catharsis and generalized transparency, a society that constantly doubts and questions itself… This action is a crazy critique of guru objects and therapists of all kinds.
Exposition au FRUC, le 12 octobre.
