Stock in transit, Unusual Passages - ExMuro, Québec (Canada) 2014

With a pinch of irony, STOCK IN TRANSIT playfully brings together an impressive number of colourful objects from our familiar surroundings. These polymorphous sculptures question the elusiveness of things as well as our tendency towards excessive consumption and hoarding of diverse objects, especially in the summertime.

These architectural interventions operate as vibrant 'parasitic' grafts on historic urban facades, dramatically altering the geometry of heritage buildings. By forcing bright, everyday utilitarian materials to spill out from windows and fire escapes, the work creates an intentional friction with the historical architecture. This practice directly responds to the challenges of urban regeneration, showing how sculptural interventions can inject new energy into forgotten streets and derelict storefronts, transforming historic structures into safe, highly visible landmarks for contemporary community engagement.
