About the artist
Cédric Le Borgne
Cédric Le Borgne was born in Paris in 1972 and lives and works in Toulouse. After studying applied arts at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan in Paris, he created his first works in Toulouse in 1997. Since then, his artworks have travelled the world.
I began this project after a long world trip. I observed daily life in Pakistan, India, China, Egypt and Chile. At the same time I monitored myself. I was searching for my place in the world. I came home and wanted to express myself as an artist in my own environment, in my own street. In the late nineties I installed my first Travellers together with friends in the streets of my neighborhood in Toulouse, using streetlights or car headlights with a battery. It was like a game, it was really fun. Later they travelled the world, from Geneva to Seoul, from London to Singapore.
