The frescoes on the wall concern the dwellings n° 1 bis, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the upper part of the Montée du Garillan, leading to the 24 chemin Saint-Barthélémy.
After observing the place, I found it interesting to dress the walls, in order to create a story that accompanies the public on these steps, up and down. For this I propose six elements on both sides of the climb, representing plants and characters, on a human scale. They are all united by the coloured line in shades of blue, both subtle and contrasting with the yellow/orange appearance of the walls. The objective of this punctual artistic dressing is to give a life impulse to the steps, especially thanks to a harmony of painted colors.
The actions of the characters are fleeting moments: a pause of a woman, sitting during the climb, the instant taking of a photo by a visitor, the passage of a cat on a ledge. This is an image, captured at a specific time, that will soon no longer exist.
The technique used will be paper collage, both effective and allowing to make disappear the creations, after the Biennial, because we are in a district classified as a world heritage site.
