Pluie sur le Mellois est à l'origine un projet de fanzine auto-édité avec des photos et de la poésie, qui fait suite à la manifestation contre la méga-bassine de Sainte-Soline du 25 mars 2023.
Après cette mobilisation, il m'est apparu clairement qu'en plus de raconter et témoigner de la violence et de l'absurdité de la répression, il fallait aussi témoigner de l'accueil et du soin qu'a permis la ville de Melle pendant et après. Ce fanzine est donc le récit de mon apaisement par la promenade dans les rues de Melle.
Après en avoir semé quelques exemplaires un peu partout sur la route de ma tournée estivale (avec mon autre exposition), dont un au Café du Boulevard à Melle, l'idée d'une exposition à partir de ce projet est née pour le présenter lors de la journée récits et témoignages organisée par Bassines Non Merci le 31 mars 2024, un an après.
Pluie sur le Mellois was originally a project of a self-published fanzine with photos and poetry, following the demonstration against the Sainte-Soline mega-pond on March 25, 2023.
After this mobilization, it became clear to me that in addition to recounting and bearing witness to the violence and absurdity of the repression, it was also necessary to bear witness to the welcome and care provided by the town of Melle during and afterwards. This fanzine is the story of how I calmed my nerves by strolling through the streets of Melle.

After scattering a few copies all over the place on my summer tour (along with my other exhibition project Psychedelic Wandering), including one at the Café du Boulevard in Melle, the idea of an exhibition based on this project was born, to be presented at the storytelling day organized by Bassines Non Merci on March 31, 2024, one year later. An event at which I was able to read some of my poems
