Lucky Days
(2023)
Participatory installation
Cueillir ses cerises, La Friche, St-Ursanne
A participatory installation of 40 self-help books sourced from book exchange cabinets and secondhand stores in Biel/Bienne and Suisse
Romande, suspended from hand-tied Chinese good luck knots.
Once a month during the exhibition, Dillon invited the public to hunt for lucky clovers with her in the fields, parks and roadsides of St-Ursanne. At the start of the hunt, participants were invited to choose a book from the installation that was used to preserve the four-leaf clovers they found. The public took their book (and the clovers inside) home with them at the end of the exhibition as a lucky charm.
