20,75
(metres for the width of one road in town) against
1,31 (for the only one pavement) |

The 3e impérial invited me for an artistic residency in Granby, little town 100 km far from Montreal. Granby is a typical North American town: its structure is build for cars. To be a pedestrian is not an easy thing: pavement disappears sometimes, public transport is rare, to cross the street is often dangerous, small shops are just a few in the centre because bigger others are in the outskirts... It gives me many subjects to react! |

| I hold boards to invit the drivers to stop and seat (2 yellow chairs in that matter) to discuss with me the large place given to cars: "let's speak about society", "how to cross?", "do you hear?", "do you came for good quality of air?"... Other boards -for those I got a lot of good reactions- describes what can I am doing thanks to the slow rhythm of the walk: "I observ the lanscape", "I take my time"... |

At the end of the residency, under
a beautiful sunshine, we organized an outside installation to meet
the public around the actions I've made, with tasty drinks and a
life piano concert... |
