900 Something Days Spent in the XXth Century - Némo Flouret
“I lived only a few handful of years in the 20th century. That was enough to regret the European humanist ideal, but too little to see anything more than its skeleton: industrial and commercial infrastructures whose transit networks stretch to infinity.”
The performers' collective task is to build distinct ways of using urban space, leaving traces of their negotiations upon the terrain. If the goal of the actions is extremely practical (for example, connecting two ends of the site with a pulley), the means used to achieve it are not. On the contrary, it is a question of taking a thousand and one detours, getting lost along the way, digressing widely… to puke out, to celebrate, to experience it in complete reality. 900 is a quest to activate sites of architectural leftovers, and in doing so, constantly reinvent itself according to the context it meets.
