Description: 

Jean Mas hitchhiking with his letter P (“peu,” meaning little): this action echoes that of the artist Serge III who, in 1969, tried hitchhiking with a piano. Forty years later, Jean Mas addresses to his friend this tribute in which the Fluxus spirit revives this action of a thumb in the air, a sign of life in the way of art.
