2016
From 2014 to 2016, I resided in a foyer in the 18th district of Paris. This five-storey rent-controlled building is located at the intersection of Pigalle, Place Clichy and Porte de Clignancourt. The community we formed and our lived relations to this neighbourhood is the starting point of my research. Drawing from artistic forms derived from the Situationist International movement and concepts of psychogeographies, I explored maps as sites for poetic expression, experimentation, self-authorization, and mischief-making. What emerges is the possibility to construct new landmarks, rhizomatic borders and expanding relations. This series of assemblages is a meditation on ruinous forms, such as flags and atlases.
