Much has been said about the industrial sites, the wastelands, the surrounding infrastructure.
groupe e2 have put all that to one side and have moved on to a more abstract plane - the urban blur -
it's instabilities, disruptions, strangeness, imprecisions, redefinitions, disorganisations, formlessness, indeterminacies, complexity, incoherence...
The In-Between
Do these urban glitches bother you ? Observe and interpret the signs, give form to your feelings, anticipate the responses !!!
