Director Statement

Les clés de la maison Cadou is a tribute to the poet René Guy Cadou and his home/museum in Louisfert, where I lived for two months during my artist residency program of writing "poetic vision" and where I was during the second national French lockdown. In his house there where keys everywhere, he collected them, and I felt the poet's presence and his poetic vision through his keys.
