“What remains of loneliness when no one is there to observe it? Being alone without a doubt, but not without a mirror, that is, not without the eye of another person which bases my desire for loneliness”
From The Paths to Philosophy, Adèle Van Reeth
For 3 days an artist (tight rope dancer and at the same time drawer) settles in a public space and trains there for several hours a day…he notes and draws what he hears what he is told, what he saw and observed and builds a kind of playful ethnology spontaneously, without any method. Gradually his drawings invade the space. On the 4th day, he proposes an appointment that mixes thread, words and texts captured…like the film of these few days and constructed live and in the relationship to the public, like the reconstructed link between an artist, a space…and what has been sorely lacking in recent months: the audience.
