Written Sketches – Laurence Favory

Laurence Favory captures the essence of everyday journeys to transform the Paris Metro into a literary portrait gallery. From April 7th to June 1st, 2026, La Boussole presents these moments captured in the act within the underground bustle. Here, words replace pencils to sketch the silhouettes and fleeting emotions between two stations. Visible directly from the window, these short texts offer an immediate poetic breath to passersby, without even having to cross the threshold. The experience extends through QR codes that reveal the artist's behind-the-scenes work. This original proposition invites you to slow down and view the strangers who share our cars with a fresh perspective. A celebration of the ordinary that makes art accessible to everyone, simply by pausing for a moment on the sidewalk.
