Description

Jury Report

The jury was seduced by the clarity and strength of this anti-project. The proposal, entitled Détour, converts the rigidities of public transport, usually from station to predetermined station, into an unusual, indeterminate, unpredictable experience: getting on the bus without knowing where it will take you. The discovery of new parts of the city, new neighborhoods is made through the expectation of the unexpected. The straight line is not a quality, only the drift - in the sense that it had with the theorists of Situationism - is combined with the detour. This proposal does not solve the problem of transportation, but increases it, so to speak, by creating new urban links. The idea is clear, well written and the collages or fake collages add to the qualities of the whole. Mobility is conceived here as a way of living together, and the time needed to use public transport opens up the unexpected and a new imaginary experience of public transport. Would public transport managers be able to accept such a simple and confusing proposal?
