Notes written in the train
Hangzhou-Shanghai, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012
Under advertising hoardings, under rails of the train, under highways, the soil. Under the light of the lampposts which line traffic lanes, the grey soil, clayey, black during the rainy days. The material is accurately classified, crumbled, hoed. Between two cities, a web is streched out, between four heaps of ground, very straight furrows fill the square. As a tidy hair, combed, every square meter of soil is cultivated: from the bombard electric to another one, from a post of advertising hoarding to a tree, between a tarred passage and walls of a house, under the pipe of waste water which circulates in the air, on one stumble, on a heap, at the edge of a road, in a ditch Under the flux of the world, included in the patchwork of cultivated plots of land, two or three-storeyed houses with the white, grey, pink, green, blue ceramic walls. Green or blues ink windows. Something shines, a ball on the roof of the house, a rail at the level of the staircase, the spangled tiled roof of the house... Animals are rare, two, three poultry trample on a heap of something. A sticky water, blue and green stagnates at the bottom of a ditch.
