Ongoing project<\/strong>
\nStarted in September 2011<\/p>\n

I have always been fascinated by all the marks, traces and treads that our daily movements leave throughout a city. The idea behind TRACES<\/strong> <\/em>is to observe and somehow try to register these types of marks. For this purpose, I am working on some experiments that allow for the possible appearance of shapes and lines by exploiting these daily movements.<\/p>\n

The first experiment is called Gravure au sol<\/strong><\/em> (ground engraving). The idea was to generate graphic works using the city as a studio. The four first attempts with a satisfactory result were executed on the asphalt of three streets (one in France and two in China) registering the passage of cars, motorbikes, bikes and a few pedestrians.<\/p>\n
