Shipping containers are conceived as living units forming an autonomous community. Inspired by the social experimentations of the 70’s, this community questions our lifestyles by proposing alternatives. Slipping baths is a collective bathing space in which the inhabitant develops a ritual through different sequences. The bather starts to remove his clothes by throwing them through a wall. The space for bathing is made of an overall soap decor where the bather slips into a sensual and sensitive dance, pushing the limits of intimacy. A tunnel of floating towels dries the body before retrieving the clothes. The installation is evolutive and the erosion of the soaps reveals the community life over time.
