Semaine 25.13

Le Mastoc, un bâtiment décoiffé et son champ des 100 rochers
Guy-André Lagesse, Nicolas Barthélémy, Jérôme Rigaut,
Groupe artistique Les Pas Perdus?
Griffeuille, Arles

The MasToc, a windswept building, is at the same time an installation produced by the art group Les Pas Perdus – Jérôme Rigaut, Nicolas Barthélemy, Guy-André Lagesse –, and shared art work process with people living in Arles and the Griffeuille/Mouleyrès neighbourhood. Due to a powerful meteorological action, either seismic or poetic, this building—a sculpture turned inside out like a glove—has scattered all around it the rocks which once formed its walls and sides. The Field of 100 boulders has taken shape through stories, anecdotes, sensations, attitudes and materials from the daily round. The sculpture-building is a poetic vision of nearby low-rise housing: an upheaval of buildings where the surplus energies and imaginations, memories and fantasies contained in the
apartments escape through the windows and doors, and the roof blown off by the Mistral.
