Laurent Pichaud has been an associate artist at CCN2 since 2020, and is deploying ... en jumelle, a field project based on the twin towns scheme, where he questions the place of the Other and Elsewhere in our daily lives. He has designed Le Sappey à la jumelle, a unique choreographic artistic experience, a hike accompanied by sound recordings. The route takes walkers around Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse, as if they could look at it from afar, through binoculars, and offer themselves the possibility of looking even further, beyond the horizon. While they're here and now around Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse, they'll be pairing up with other places, distant or absent, or with invisible elements, or with inner bodily sensations.
