Where are the keys of my childhood ?

The keys of the Cadou house / Les clés de la maison Cadou is a tribute to the poet René Guy Cadou and his home/museum in Louisfert, where I lived for two months during my artist residency program of writing ‘Poetic Vision’ and where I was during the second national French lockdown. In his house there where keys everywhere, he collected them, and I felt the poet’s presence and his poetic vision through his keys.

The Artist in Residence Program ‘Poetic Vision’ was organized by the Communauté de Communes Châteaubriant-Derval (Loire-Atlantique French Region) and supported by DRAC Pays de la Loire, the French Ministry of Culture and Picofilms.
