This work was begun in the Nagen brick factory where the artist invited the workers who made the bricks to hold them while they were drying, when the clay was still malleable. Each brick that makes up this work thus bears the mark of the hand of the person who made it, so that the object loses its original function as a construction element and becomes the trace of an identity gesture, with echoes of revolutionary actions such as that of Marsha P. Johnson throwing bricks to the windscreens of police cars in New York's Greenwich Village in 1969, or that of the Parisian cobblestones of May '68.
