My lists also track the ordinary. But an invisible ordinary. They give a density to things that leave no trace.

The yellow sign thwarts the idea that everything must have a reason for being and a easily identifiable function. Because art is freer than expected, I want to present simple everyday sentences. Small moments in words.

The idea was inspired by past collaboration with the Kahnawake community. For the project, my desire is to create a symbolic dialogue between colonist and Iroquois communities.

The suite of unpublished poems that I propose here is at the same time a pagan haiku, an intimate slogan, an existential ad. In short, an individual word which wants to be collective according to the famous "I is another" of Rimbaud.
