Caroline Berge and Elise Conoir

chose as the subject matter of their work MISSION TRAMWAY, which is a large construction site for the future tramway of Le Mans. The tram project requires massive disruption of the sidewalks, streets and the general infrastructure of the city. For two years temporary passages and walkways have ben created using red and white portable units that lock together like giant LEGO pieces. Caroline and Elise are interested in the dynamic character of the site, which is like a huge sculptural environment that changes on a daily basis. They collaborated to make a series of drawings and photographs of six locations within the construction site and made arrangements with the city to borrow some of the red and white units which will be used to create an "intervention" somewhere inside Ecole des Beaux Arts.
