I liked the challenge: of the street and its tough context, the palisade of Place Flagey, the very large format required, with all the surprises of making an enlargement, of laboratory reproduction and all its technical constraints.
There is still one subject to be tackled: the book, reading, and quotes from writers. Not working in terms of communication: simply trying to construct little pieces of fiction starting with a phrase, or a quote, without falling into illustration, or a caption, accompanying a text, staying with the singularity of a given approach, mine, with the risk of appearing strange to someone passing along the palisade. A possible link? A love of literature, the pleasure of meeting people and of dialogue: writers. Fragments, printed details blown up, the opposition of odd elements, the importance of tearing, rather violently breaking the connection with history, working with memory, changes of direction, an attempt to introduce some fiction into our daily life, short-circuiting reality... Images and texts that don't match.

I like working with Annick Blavier. Her posters touch me, speak to me of here and far-away, of dreaming and commitment, of daily life and the sense of History.
Between you an me: an exacting complicity, where words, their meaning and music, are as important as the image. A common reflection, with each commenting on the work of the other. The pleasure of literary sharing. Transfrontalière: that has been said about me, too. Place Flagey: a frontier, a construction site, open to new possibilities, where very different worlds kaleidoscope into one another. The city is watching us, and we are watching the city.
