ABOUT US

Our live works, accessible free of charge, 24/7, are therefore a dynamic confrontation with the context, but also with an audience of passers-by. Thus desacralised, taken out of the temple, they do not impose any prescription of use and do not act as an authority. The passer-by decides whether or not they should be concerned about the proposal being made. But, if they allow themselves to be tempted, they necessarily leave passivity behind and become actors in their experience. They decide how they wish to experience the work and, their brains being thus made, inevitably weave new links with the multiple elements of the context and the unpredictable events that take place around them. This reappropriation of space through the imaginationallows for the construction of unique, ephemeral and, above all, original and renewable situations, which act directly on the perceptions and emotions of each individual.

Creating for a specific context requires knowing it, immersing oneself in its reality, anchoring oneself in it. Each creation is a human adventure that takes place over time and involves diving into the microcosm of the place and becoming, for the duration of a project, the meeting point, the intersection, between numerous inhabitants, stories, trajectories and uses.

Situating our work is a fundamental part of our approach and it is therefore quite natural that we find it in our proposals for the traditional cultural circuit. They are always modelled, adapted and contextualised. Creating a unique work for a specific place at a specific time is a counterpoint to the forced march of our time, a micro-escape from the scalability, globalisation and standardisation of the world and its inhabitants. To propose another narrative in reality, to transform the place, the way of looking at it, is, for the space of a moment, to reappropriate an environment too often confiscated by private economic interests alone. It also means confronting chance and chance encounters. It means addressing everyone. Finally, it means building an infinite playground of crossings and experiments, because there will always be new territories to explore.
