I’ve always loved the link between runners and supporters, their cheers along the route, the energy that is transmitted between strangers and that gives the strength to surpass oneself during a race.

I looked this link in a performance that takes up the codes of the race by hijacking the codes of the exhibition. I wanted to feel the encouragement of the public who would support me in this crazy 10 km race within the exhibition space and outside, beside the works. GIVE ME FIVE, I clapped people’s hands every time I came across one, exchanging glances, yells and smiles.
