Description:

an empirical catapult made of scaffolding, steering columns from trucks, plastic bowls, palettes, inner tubes, string and a winch. The throwing was done with objects brought by the artists, a radio that was turned on, a typewriter, pots of live flowers, a ringing alarm clock, burning logs, bags of sea water, fresh paint and many other things... each throw lasted 10 minutes. On the cours Saleya unexpectedly euphoric children were slipping under the barriers to pick up the broken objects. The catapult experimented on the cours Saleya was reactivated the following summer for the whole duration of the art fair Art Jonction.
