I arrived in Paris in October 1994. Enamoured by the French culture and language, I nevertheless found myself living in an ugly urban zone with concrete everywhere and streets with Communist names. Where was I? What was I doing here? The unusual setting of Scenes Saint-Denis became a refuge, a whimsical space for the imagination.

Years later, after all trace of the original footage has disappeared, I look back and repiece these fleeting moments together again.
