An Exhibition Like A Sketchbook

“The starting point of our exhibition Rêveries Urbaines was in Rennes, the capital of the French region Bretagne, where we originally come from. We were asked to do a project in the city. And we thought for a long time about this and tried a few possible options. Eventually, we decided not to work on a single, materialised concept, but proposed rather to create an exhibition resembling a large-scale sketchbook – a collection of our research on public spaces. While working on this collection, we have been asking ourselves: What could be interesting in a city? What is the role of nature in urban landscapes? We called this project Rêveries Urbaines. It’s a dream, it’s poetic and at the same time it’s extremely pragmatic. Personally, I found a new energy in this project, like the kind I had when I first started working as a designer.“
