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.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NUu4t11MVJ4?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n<h3><em><strong>Random routes<\/strong><\/em>:<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cLe Pavillon\u201d, the venue where my residency took place and where I showed the results of my experiments in the street, is situated on the tip of the Caen Peninsula. It\u2019s a very interesting area because it is surrounded by water (the St. Pierre Bassin, the Caen \u00e0 la Mer Canal, the Orne river and the Victor Hugo canal) and currently it\u2019s in the middle of a huge urban transformation. Modern constructions, old factories, abandoned buildings, designed green areas and waste land are all mixed together. This makes it an open space, well defined and perfect for aleatory wandering.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>For this exercise, I defined 23 points at key spots around the area (building angles, crossroads and corners). The goal was to walk from one point to another choosing at random the next point. The route started at point n.\u00ba1, had to go through 10 points and finished again at point n.\u00ba1. The result of each stroll generated a design that was then converted into a wood sculpture using a laser at the local D\u00f4me Fablab. Finally, I painted and exhibited them at the Pavillon. I traced 11 routes myself and 6 were traced by the participants of a workshop with the Fablab. Each sculpture represents a 30 to 40 minutes stroll on a distance from 2 to 3 km.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palma Festival Le Pavillon, Caen, France March 2018 www.palmafestival.com 15 days residency at the Pavillon on the tip of the Caen Peninsula.
