“Within the district of the new station there are many construction sites, more or less important, forcing residents to take detours in their journeys. But each diversion in the public space can also lead to a new discovery. A new path, which we would never have taken without this change of route. By avoiding the beaten track, the Voluntary Diversions invite rediscovery.”  – 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.
