Aix en Provence
Waiting moments during a train and bus ride in Aix-en-Provence. In this city open to artistic experiences, we find geometries that challenge highly technically mastered armed concrete. Around and inside, the public spaces designed by our late 20th and early 21st century architects seek light and immensity. This fight between necessary mass and desired lightness reminds us of the builders of the most beautiful Middle Ages. But the complexity of the architectures requires more and more rigorous and precisely coded signage techniques. A real language that travelers must learn to navigate in these immense halls. But language is not enough, the lengthening of walks over kilometers of packed but variably ventilated concrete require an adaptation of almost every detail of the clothing and a suitcase without wheels is an instrument of torment. Let's go for a bowl of air conditioning :

CREDENCE
When I'm waiting for the train in a station, it seems to me that time stops as if I absolutely want to forget this moment of detention in a prison without bars. But the other passengers, consigned like me to their invisible jail, what do they think about? Certainly not about these bars of wind, not about the crackling loudspeakers, not about the apocalyptic sounds of the loco engines that arrive and leave, not about the crackling of thousands of footsteps approaching or leaving the platform. What are they thinking about?
