Programme
Night crossing, Martine Feipel and Jean Béchameil
Traversée de nuit begins with a twilight walk in the Castelverde forest. A walk in which the wild, the unexpected and freedom seem to be on the move. The enslavement of cities, the place given back to nature in our societies, the displacement of populations and mass migrations are all part of the new forms taken by the landscape of the modern world. With this new project, Feipel and Béchameil assert this new conception of space, paying homage to Rimbaud's walkers, Ctesias' peoples on the move and all those who have decided to leave everything behind.
