Les Voyageurs

Les Voyageurs is a 70 meter long installation by the artist Fanny Allié, completed for the wall along the street rue des Pétroles in Saint-Priest, France. This project, supported by the city, is a Rubis Mécénat commission for the Société du Dépôt de Saint-Priest (SDSP). Fanny Allié created a series of 42 human figures made out of nylon string, and representing gestures, poses and movements of the people passing by and drivers of the 4,000 vehicles that circulate daily on the main road of Grand Lyon’s industrial zone. The wall is animated by colorful silhouettes full of movement that interlink and multiply into a series of dynamic forms which create a rhythm on the surface of the bare wall while constituting a poetic gesture in the midst of an urban and industrial environment.
