Since 2002 we have collaborated with Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly on a number of projects, among others the Boulevard Project and RVB .
The Boulevard Project is an open-ended and evolving multimedia art project, entirely shot in the 18th arrondissement in north Paris, and predominantly on the Boulevard Barbès.
Each work tells a different story, capturing and treating a specific moment in life of the city.

A short film which transforms a 17 minute city walk into several hundred photograms of approximately one second each.
By its very persistence, movement becomes tangible and alive in the space between the stills.
