Histoires a propos de m. petit (stories about m. Petit),
performance, selection of 9 analogic pictures and text, variables dimensions, 2015.
It was a Sunday in December 2015 when Marcy Petit first met Julien, a patient at the hospital where she was working at the time. A friendship blossomed, which soon lead to a Sunday morning coffee ritual. Julien was one the most famous hairdressers in Paris, he spoke of his life, love and loss.
Produced in 2015, Stories about M. Petit is the photographic and written result of one afternoon when Julien cut the hair of the artist. Luce Roux, a photographer based in Paris, documented this performance with her analog camera whilst Marcy wrote thoughts in her notebook, devoting herself to the exercise of automatic writing or 'pure psychic automatism'.
