At the invitation of Antoine Marchand, centre d'art Le Lait, Albi, France, in partenership with the association Afiac, Fiac, France

During the Revenir au monde creative residency in Fiac, I decided to work on a book by Michelangelo Antonioni, Nothing but Lies, which resembles stories or notes for films that were never made. At the same time, in response to the lockdown period we experienced in the spring of 2020, and particularly to the fact that performances could not be performed in front of an audience, I asked myself: what happens to a performance if it cannot be performed? Only a table-dress was exhibited to the public as a testimony to this performance that never took place, accompanied by engraved scores of other performances that will also never be performed.
