Autrement on devient fou
This book documents an artistic project centered on an interview with Henri Lavrillat (*1920), who recalls his compulsory labor service in Cap Ferret and Bordeaux during the Second World War. The conversation was initiated by my photographic series ‘Disappearance – The Atlantic Wall around Cap Ferret’, which explores the remnants of wartime architecture along the Atlantic coast.
The book includes the whole transcript, a photographic exploration of camping sites and functional architecture on Cap Ferret at that point in time, material from the main project and the documentation of my performance and ephemeral installation ‘Se Souvenir’, as well as essays by Inge Marszolek and myself.
