Murs de l'Atlantique is a research carried out around the Breton territory, which offers a visual dialogue between two phenomena: the remains of the Atlantic Wall - these blockhouses which constellate the coast in a heavy and permanent way; the free parties, these illegal techno parties, which appear spontaneously in the countryside and on the coasts, before disappearing at once. Walls of sound, fortified enclosures, improvised camps, radical materials, sounds and elements: this project is interested in the ways to occupy spaces - the margins, in this case; in architecture - whether it is unalterable or, on the contrary, rudimentary; and in the party - read as a guerrilla operation, allowing a breach outside of any categorization, any control.

By following the coastline, by crossing the roads, and starting from the figure of the wall, this project questions the construction of a collective identity, the feeling of belonging to a community - as temporary as it may be - which is lived in secrecy and illegality. This work retraces seven years of parties and excesses.
