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 take my time" |
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"... |

"I observ the landscape" |

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... Collectiv publication
