I've been assigned to make a residence in this little village of 2000 inhabitants, called La Gacilly, in Brittany, France. After few weeks of wandering and trying to feel the place, i noticed that somehow young people were absent from the landscape. So i focused my attention of what we cannot see at first sight. This generation which holds the memory and strength of this place, of its forest, of the soil, of the river, and at the same time looks forward to the future and to the elsewhere. This space where past and projections make one. Where love, friendship, bounds are everywhere. Where everything is to build.
