People at an outdoor art exhibit on a beach at sunset, with some sitting on chairs, others taking photos in front of a painting and a black fabric with a white abstract design hanging, graffiti on the structure's ceiling, and beachgoers in the background.

Notes for a shell


Notes for a Shell (translation of Francis Ponge's poem "Notes pour un coquillage") is a site-specific collective exhibition, conceived to take place in a fisherman's hut (in the cabin and on its terrasse) on the beach.


Hence a dialogue and confrontation in real time with the coastal landscape and the sedimentary architecture of the fishermen’s huts.
