The ÉCHAPPÉES URBAINES are audio-guided walks, conceived in situ, in direct link with the environment and the geography of the place of reception.
In these urban wanderings, Isabelle Jonniaux opens a dialogue with the elements encountered in the street. Buildings, tags, signs, encounters: so many elements from which she weaves sensitive, poetic, absurd or funny stories.
Equipped with a smartphone and headphones, the public follows a geolocalized route; they are invited to move around in every sense of the word. It is a question of shifting the points of attention, of shifting the real, of summoning other times, other thoughts, other fictions. To try to make emerge an alternative reality.
