Palma Festival Residency
Le Pavillon, Caen, France
March 2018
Crossing the Orne river one day using the Orne-Boom (a boom built in 1908 that is used to regulate the tide) I realized that in font of each door, on the downstream side, the water was forming very powerful whirlpools. The next time I crossed the bridge I saw that the debris that had been floating the day before was still turning around in the same place. I understood that the whirlpools were so strong that any objects caught in them could barely escape. So, I decided to throw some art in one of the strongest whirlpools and see what would happen. After 5 days I decided to get them back and, after quite a lot of trouble, I managed to fish them all out of the water and bring them back to the exhibition space.

Le Dédale
Le Dédale, art circuit in the public space
Belvès, Dordogne, France, 06/2016
When I was offered to participate in the Dédale in Belvès, I went strolling the street of the village to find ideas and ways to intervene in it. Used to work in cities, to create in the streets of such a charming and harmonious little village was for me a real challenge. Quickly, I noticed the presence of a lot of unoccupied houses with windows blocked with wooden planks. I had the idea to intervene directly on these planks and old shutters to highlight the buildings without denaturing them, without touching their stones. To paint on these ephemeral supports, marginal witnesses of an interrupted activity, provides them with a certain dignity and gives them back an honorable role in the city: support for a works of art.

Exhibition curated by A by P

Footpaths
Four 15′ walking performances
Black ink on 285 g. Fabriano Rosaspina paper 100 x 70 cm, 2′ video
Rules:
- The participant of the action selects an area of public space and defines a specific time period.
- The perimeter of this predefined space is then circled in a clockwise fashion.
- When an outsider visible to the participant enters the perimeter, the participant must immediately attempt to reach the outsider’s point of intrusion.
- If the perimeter is further breached during the attempt to reach the initial intruder’s entry point, this subsequent point becomes the new target.
- Once an intrusion point is reached, the participant continues circling the perimeter until either a further intruder enters or the time limit is reached.
- Finally a drawing is generated; a testimony to the footpath experience.
