In the fantasies of colonizing extraplanetary regions, there is a replay of the great urban utopias. In the plans for the establishment of planned communities, there is something of the dream of a modern society built from scratch on virgin land.
Based on these intuitions, I began associating views of urban blocks (in french suburbs) at the moment they emerge with Martian landscapes.
The intention is to achieve the creation of low-cost science fiction, where memories of the past and visions of the future intertwine—perhaps as a warning against the production of futures that are already obsolete.

It's a fallen modern totem or a giant construction game, scattered at a crossroads.
It is dusk or dawn, and in the air thick with the dust of construction sites, weeds begin to dance around the blocks.
It is alchemy or the sabbath of a city in the midst of a phase transition.
[FR original version]
C’est un totem moderne effondré ou un jeu de construction géant, éparpillé à un carrefour.
C’est le crépuscule ou l’aube et dans l’air chargé de la poussière des chantiers les mauvaises herbes commencent à danser autour des blocs.
C’est l’alchimie ou le sabbat d’une ville en pleine transition de phase.

It is a barrier-shape, a fragment of our dormant daily life, one that needed to be awakened with bursts of color.
It is masonry crowning a small ventilation structure, where Pellitory-of-the-wall stubbornly settle.
And they are the only ones allowed to camp there.
[FR original version]
C’est une forme-barrage, un morceau de notre quotidien endormi, qu’il fallait réveiller à coup de couleurs.
C’est une maçonnerie coiffant un petit édicule d’aération, où des pariétaires de Judée campent obstinément.
Et elles sont bien les seules à pouvoir ainsi camper.

Surface greening in progress.
From one corner of a planter placed at the entrance of a building, a coliseum ivy spreads a chaotic veil of greenery toward impeccable rows of pebbles, gradually concealing the mortar holding the stones together.
A harmonious pairing, perhaps too much so,
A little too much of a façade
[FR original version]
Végétalisation de surface en cours.
Depuis l’un des coins d’une jardinière postée à l’entrée d’un immeuble une cymbalaire étend un voile de verdure chaotique vers d’impeccables rangées de galets, cachant progressivement le mortier qui retient les pierres.
Une association heureuse, un peu trop,
Un peu trop cache-misère.

Here, but not just yet : they said it’s coming.
We’ll renovate everything : fresh plasterboard, trendy wallpaper.
And it will be beautiful.
In the meantime, a jungle of interlude grows before the condemned façade.
Who will see nature knocking at the doors, the great transformation taking place?
[FR original text]
Ici, mais pas encore maintenant : ça arrive, on a dit.
On va tout retaper : placo neuf, papier-peint tendance.
Et ce sera beau.
En attendant jungle d’interlude pousse devant façade condamnée.
Qui pour voir, nature toquer aux portes, grande mue s’opérer ?

2022, Saint-Denis, along the T1 tramway.
A parade of spaces bordered by metal sheets and fences, suspended between two times, two uses, and two worlds.
Vegetation fills the void, waiting... well sheltered behind the palisades.

I have titled this project "The Invaders." It’s a collection of freeform three-dimensional interpretations of landers (machines designed to land on the surface of a celestial body) created by space agencies.
The models are closer to a DIY project than a symbol of high technology. They serve as a reminder to put our sense of triumph or progress into perspective and reconnect with the fragility of our human condition.
This craft draws inspiration from the design of Philae, the ESA lander that embarked in 2015 to explore comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

A small model inspired by the Lunar Lander of the ESA, a European spacecraft that never saw the light of day due to a lack of agreement between the various partners.
As with art, the space sector is often dependent on public policies and their changing directions. Many projects thus never progress beyond the concept stage and remain as images which, when accumulated, shape our techno-scientific imagination.

After American, Russian, and Chinese spacecraft, it was India's turn in 2019 to touch the lunar regolith.
With its characteristic trapezoidal prism-shaped chassis, Vikram is the first lander of ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization.
