farewell
I've arrived from France on the 23rd of September 2005.
I was carrying a bag, only. In it there were clothes, a flash disk, some official papers...
I've arrived in Lisbon with few things and the will to stay for a year.
All the rest of my belongings had been spread among my friends
during a big farewell party.
During this farewell night we shared what I had accumulated during years in this house in Lyon to enable me to travel with a lighter bag and a lighter heart."
It's been 6 years since I'm staying in Lisbon...
On the 22nd of September 2011, in order to mark the 6th birthday of my departure from my hometown, Lyon (France), my current house has been moved, for one night only, to Who Gallery.
My own furniture (sofa, shelves, table, chairs), books, discs, clothes, composed the setting of the performance.
In this dislocated space happened a displaced moment: the reenactment of my farewell party from Lyon in 2005.
This fictional party had, like any party, music, drinks and food, plus the specificity to be a "take away" party where people were encouraged to take to their own place any of my personal goods, just like when I asked my friends to do so, in Lyon, exactly 6 years earlier.
