VILLISSIMA !
Des artistes et des villes
(artists and cities)
HOTEL DES ARTS, Toulon
4 JUILLET> 27 SEPTEMBRE 2015
4 july > 27 september 2015
Villissima brings together
artists that leave us free to
qualify , critique or flatter the
city. How these cities suggest
that we perceive only
fragments ?
The course does not follow a
thematic logic but rather
affinities and resonances
between the works

Ground Floor / Reception
The city directory colorful shapes . Once row , the
town she has disappeared ?
Are just « souvenirs » ?
Ground Floor Room 1 and 2
Rooms 1 and 2 have two opposing visions : unbridled
city on one side , the other more austere
Ground Floor / Vestibule
Colorful hopes of large housing oppose their willful
destruction , frosted bud and beautiful while in front ,
three large horizontal panoramas deplore the
standardization of glances and speeches
Ground Floor / Room 3 (bottom on the left)
For Andrea Branzi or
Rem Khoolas , who are
" starchitects " it begins
with a mixture of real and
ironic.
Whereas for 2 drawers
city plays of reflections
and images
st
1 Floor / Vestibule
Photos oppose extinct
towns to cities reversed:
night ? day ? black and
white? color? ... no one
can watch the front and
back simultaneously !
1rst Floor / Room 4 (on the left)
The order placed for Villissima ! Give also to see the
uncontrollable nature of the city that seems to produce
printed without purpose, images and information.
1rst Floor / Room 6 (bottom center)
Mumbai overweening , Chicago cradle , Beirut
tormented ...
1rst Floor / Room 5 and 7 (bottom left and right)
These two rooms are
in the dark to to honor
the "city by hand" and
value the small shapes
in it
