Geoffroy Mathieu, Jordi BallestaAnti-installation: Apporter, bouleverser.

Since 2014, Geoffroy Mathieu and Jordi Ballesta have been photographing anti-installation devices, called “security devices” or “anti-intrusion” by the public authorities. They document and classify them within a collection that they have organised in the form of a double typology. Material forms on the one hand: trenches, crossings, walls, mounds, furrows, riprap, etc. Operations on the other hand: bringing in, upsetting, dumping, laying out, breaking up, guarding, etc. These devices are contextualised on the basis of a collection of administrative, legal and police documents that support the fact that they aim to prevent inhabitation.
