Pipes, ducts, flues, terminal, exchanger, junction, network, it is all about the fluxes; Constellation is a situation in progress, with multiple layers and to the scale of Grenoble and suburbs.
The city of Pont-de-Claix invites us to the Moulins de Villancourt with the support of les Rencontres-I / l'Hexagone scène nationale de Meylan, la Rampe d'Échirolles and l'Amphithéâtre du Pont-de-Claix.

1• AT WORK
from September 16th to October 1st
We have moved our workshop at the Moulins de Villancourt in order to develop a research on the 'flux-city'. An creation process opened to the public - evolving installation, sounds, images… And our “Hypermédiathèque” on the spot.

2• PUBLIC WALK / URBAN EXPLORATION
September 30th and october 1st
Five 'group walks' starting from construction equipment stores across the city converging at the Moulins de Villancourt have gathered about 130 participants. An attempt to follow a straight line, which was materialized by the 4 meters pvc tubes the walkers were carrying with them, having to negotiate accesses, sleep outside… Five distinct walks forming a moving constellation through the city. A playful spirit has prevail these 30-odd hours of walking that have been broadly documented with the pictures taken by the walkers themselves, see the slide-show below:

3• CRYSTALLISATION
Moulins de Villancourt
October 3rd to 13th
A living sculpture of blows and noises, of interferences in the network… An installation-exhibition connecting the inside and the outside, which was to be crossed, look at, listen to.
And, still, the Hypermédiathèque. Six 'activated' appointments were taken at night (exploration and manipulation in the installation: gestures, voices and sounds from the 'Constellation' project). Lastly, a 'massive outlet' was organized to sale and scatter the tubes that were making the installation after it was dismantled… nothing remained!
