Reims
'In Reims, I was naturally drawn to the unmissable places like the cathedral or the halls of Boulingrin, but I also wanted to explore everyday places in the settlements, like the Croix-Rouge neighbourhood. Because unlike the monument, the housing module creates a rational and utilitarian functionality that is extremely simplified and negates any historicity of the place. I have combined these fragments of modular architecture with other sculptural elements such as those of Imi Knoebel in Reims Cathedral, of Jean Lurçat in his tapestry 'Champagne' or even of Victor Vasarely with his works on urban art, in a form of reconciliation of the arts.' – Stéphane Couturier
