As a tangible continuation of the sculptural work "Residuum", I created a book-object-archive called "Dérives or How a fragility was overcome (but not in this book)". The book is a non-exhaustive, poetic archive of non-cultural infrastructure.

“The book introduces a variety of color as well as black and white analog pictures and poetry. It originates from four years of walking (psychogeographic walking) different cities around the world (Toronto, Luxembourg, Eischen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Nice, Arlon). It portrays analog pictures of overlooked urban infrastructure and offers an alternative, phenomenological positionality towards our communal urban environments, that is, one of poetic care and pure material aesthetization.”
