Josée Pedneault

Created during a residency in Paris, the project Pour que tu ne m’oublies pas gathers photographs of amorous graffiti that Josée Pedneault found, catalogued and retranscribed to their respective locations on a map, thereby recreating a topography of the city using the traces left by lovers. In this project the artist applies a quasi-scientific inventory method to an ordinary and universal action. For, even though it seeks to endure, graffiti is in fact ephemeral. This quest is therefore unrealistic from the outset.
