The Place Beaune-Semblançay is a reconstituted public space, a combination of architectural components that includes remains dating from the Renaissance and other added elements. The artist has created a story based on the birth of the fountain that occupies the square’s central space. A sculpture to the side takes the form of two cushions that act as a pair of plinths or pedestals fixed to the ground. The sculpture prompts passersby to engage with it by expressing themselves: they are invited to do this in pairs. The work then enters a new phase, this time written in the present tense by the inhabitants themselves.
