EXHiBiTiONS


The City of Refuge was, in October, 1993, the theater of an exhibition intended to mark the soixantenaire of its construction by Le Corbusier. The director, Mister Denis Lebaillif, had asked a group of Norman artists and his guests, to realize works in touch with the place and his function of welcome of the homeless persons. It is in this context that I realized six photos around the various functions of the city - to accommodate, to feed, to to reinsert by the work. They consist of collages elaborated with photos taken in the city during several months, in which I stacked fragments of the plan of the building. Reproduced and enlarged, they were fixed in panels Decaux settled around the city, marking out the way of the public towards this unusual place of exhibition...
