“法式告別”意味著不打招呼就離開社交場合。該項目的設計師經常這樣做，因為作為一個內向的人，他無法忍受說再見一瞬間引起的關注。

The term ‘French Exit’ means leaving a social gathering without saying good bye. This something that I usually do, because as an introvert I can not bear with the attention that you get once you say that you have to go.

由于人類一直迫切地思考滅絕和不同的末日景象及其背后原因，設計師產生了創造草坪組合的想法。設計師把注意力放在人類消失的最后幾秒內最想念的東西上，他猜想會是那些平庸的東西，比如夕陽下的麥田…平庸是人們對某件事或某個人產生強烈的愛和情感后感到厭倦的結果。設計師將所有草坪掛在天花上，給觀者一種漂浮的錯覺，使他們仿佛被帶上天空。

The idea to create compositions of grass fields came in to my mind because humankind has a constant urge to think about extinction and different variants of how the final days would look like and what would be the reason of it all. I tried to focus more on the aspect of what we would be missing the most during the last seconds of leaving this place. My guess – it would be something banal, like fields of wheat during the sunset… Banality it is a result of such a strong love and affection with something/somebody that you even get sick of it. And hanging everything on the ceiling creates an illusion of floating for the viewer, as if you are being taken to the sky.

該項目的一切都始于一個想法和一些草圖，設計師希望疫情結束后人們有機會在現實中思考告別這件事。

Everything started from just an idea and few sketches of it, but once the pandemic is over – hopefully we’ll have a chance to contemplate our farewells in reality.
