A limestone quarry, immense walls, and a writing reduced to almost nothing: a point, a line, a pulse. The projection does not cover the stone — it measures it.

It is one of my first site-specific works, and it taught me what I am still after: restraint. The less the image does, the more the place is seen.

Many thanks to Leïla Voight, to the A-part festival team and to the quarry’s technical crew, Sébastien Chapuis and Nicolas.
