Il était une fois, ici.

"We walk through the city and the landscape together, following an exploration protocol written collectively. This walk engages us in a situated experience, outside our artistic and creative practices, which are usually shaped by the rhythms of production. We move forward to feel the ground beneath our feet, observe traces, encounter living beings and make ourselves available to what surrounds us. This wandering becomes a space of encounter with a territory we cross every day. By sharing this experience in the field, we bring together our perceptions, our stories and our ways of inhabiting a place. Here, we tell the story of an encounter: that of a group, a landscape, and the relationships that emerge between them."

Collectif J’aimerai·s_ presents an exhibition born from a period of sharing, exploration and experimentation carried out during the summer of 2026. Through this presentation, the collective seeks to make visible what walking, attentiveness and exchange can produce together: a way of collectively imagining a territory that is lived in, inhabited and crossed. A collective work will take shape through the convergence of perspectives, gestures, stories and encounters that have marked this experience.

Collectif J’aimerai·s_ brings together architects, urban planners, artists, designers, sociologists and researchers, united by a shared ambition: to explore new ways of imagining, designing and acting together.
