Photographs of landscapes in a peri-urban phase of redevelopment replace the sandpaper strips usually set on sanders. These sanders are hung on the wall surface of the exhibition space by their handles and are all electrically connected to a sensor. From afar, the viewer sees a composition of images placed on the wall. However, upon approaching the images, the viewer's presence is detected and the sanders vibrate loudly. His perception is instantly disturbed. The photos are blurred, the image is imperceptible to the eye. The landscape construction, impersonal yet familiar by its structure, is a scene of absence and becoming. An interstitial space occurs, during which a topological slip or a human action erases itself in order to draw another.
