“Signage will invite residents to choose new routes. Instead of diverting obstacles, the Voluntary Diversions will lead to “construction sites”, corresponding to ephemeral and immaterial installations. In an artistic way, the Voluntary Deviations will prove to passers-by that construction sites are much more than an obstacle. They highlight the growth of their own city. An inevitable urban manifestation whose beauty can only be revealed by an open and attentive spectator.” – Deviations Volontaires

This patch was done in the frame of the “Chantiers Partagés” as part of the artistic and cultural programming of the Grand Paris Express and carried out with the help of the City of Créteil. Jan Vormann created a concept for research and exhibition in the public space called “Deviations Volontaires” (“Voluntary Deviations”), which included workshops as well as interventions. The participants included visual artists, landscape-architects and a theatre group.
