Digital reconstruction of a sunken landscape, a return before the bifurcation 

Documentary film
From 8th to 17th April, 2022 - open every day from 11am to 6pm, closed on Monday 11 April
Location: Hall du Bâtiment des Forges/ Centre des Savoirs pour l'Innovation, 11 rue du Docteur Annino in Saint-Étienne
Screening-meeting in the presence of Michel Depeyre and Pierre-Olivier Mazagol.
June 9th, 2022 at 2:30 pm
Cinémathèque - 20 Rue Jo Gouttebarge, Saint-Étienne

This 3D reconstruction allows to (re)discover the Loire in the department as it no longer exists and, despite its dynamic aspect, to freeze it. It is proposed as a paradoxical antidote, since it is illusory but effective, at these bifurcations thought and chosen by the decision-makers, but endured, then accepted, by the inhabitants and users of the place (workers, customers, bathers, jousters, etc.).

In the forest

Collective exhibition following the workshop in 2021 for students of the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Languages of the University Jean Monnet and ENSASE.
From June 3th to 8th, 2022
Location: Salle des Cimaises (Ancien école des Beaux Arts) - 5 ter rue Henri Gonnard 42000 Saint-Étienne

Time spent in the forest, on the site of the Friuli massif, at the foot of the Pilat, on the outskirts of the city of Saint-Étienne. They have walked the paths, breathed the humus, touched with their fingers this refuge space in which we no longer know how to live; while their imaginations still occupy these places, these woods, where the cursed, the proscribed, the witches coexist. They sought to flee in this mass of vegetation, in the thickness of these wet shadows. They thought of chestnuts by collecting chestnuts, building huts, creating differently. Along the way, artists, researchers and students of the Master’s in Plastic Arts at Jean Monnet University have built this exhibition together.

In partnership with ENSASE, at the end of a workshop organized by Céline Cadaureille, Carole Nosella, Rodolphe Olcèse and Jacopo Rasmi of the ECLLA laboratory and Xavier Xrona of ENSASE.
