‘Imoca’ Le mouvement, les volumes immenses arrondis de

cette aérogare m’ont fait penser aux grandes voiles des

monocoques du Vendée Globe 2016 (course autour du

monde). Sur l’IMOCA MACSF, un challenge nous a permis

que soit noté sur une voile : « Notre premier tour du

monde-Bon Vent- M et D Grégoire ». C’est l’inspiration de

mon travail avec quelques vers de Charles Baudelaire (Les

Fleurs du mal).

‘Imoca’ The movement, the huge rounded volumes of this

terminal building made me think of the huge sails of the

monohulls of the Vendée Globe 2016 (the round-theworld

sailing race). On the IMOCA MACSF, a challenge

allowed us to put a message on a sail: “Our first round the

world-Bon Vent – M and D Grégoire”. It is the inspiration

of my work with some verses by CH. Baudelaire (The

Flowers of Evil).

J'adore les lignes et les couleurs. Elles me font penser aux

voiles, au vent, à la mer. Je voulais quelque chose de léger,

comme un croquis. Ma première pensée était de peindre le

tissu, mais n'ayant pas pu obtenir l'effet souhaité, j'ai peint

avec du fil. Je voulais aussi inclure l'impression de la

ferronnerie qui donne la force au bâtiment.

I love the lines and the colours. They made me think of

sails, of wind, of sea. I wanted something light and sketchlike.

My first thought had been to use paint, but I was

unable to get the desired effect, so instead, I painted with

thread. I also wanted to include the impression of the

ironwork which gives the underlying strength to the

building.
