human rights,
everybody has the right to move free in this world
an exhibition in a former storage space for arms and a factory for bicycles from the manufrance company,
in the past a big industry with many different products in the city of st. etienne
a bicycle in a frame, when the visitor of the exhibition starts biking the dynamo runs, instead of the light, the biker hears a poem, a so called oulipou, written by a poet from st. etienne which says; you can't stop progression.
a phrase from leonardo da vinci, saying that everbody wants to be the centre of the world and a title from a book written by marguerite duras, barrage contre le pacifique, when the biker stops biking, the sound fades away.
