Walk – These words in which we move – David Poullard - GR2013 Guides Bureau

Here and there, all around us, as we walk through the city, texts, words, letters. Exposed to the gaze of passers-by. Writings of all shapes and sizes. Identification, invitation, injunction, rebellion... A flow of messages that marks the territory and weaves the endless sentence of the world. This scriptural hubbub has a form, an origin, a state of existence conducive to raising questions, and rich in learning for those who take the time to look at it with curiosity. David Poullard's stroll will explore a series of "cases", punctuating a walk that takes us from Réformés to the Old Port, passing through three distinct neighborhoods.

David Poullard

In his work as a graphic designer, David Poullard designs signage, books and typographic typefaces, as well as conducting artistic research. He explores the ordinary and the commonplace, observing linguistic materials and the social contexts that influence them. He reinvests these discoveries in his creations, using the space of the poster, book or architecture to invite the public to question their habits. At the same time, he teaches print publishing at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence, after having taught graphic and typographic design at several art schools in France.

GR2013 GUIDE OFFICE

Through various projects and activities such as peri-urban walking and artistic exploration, the Bureau des guides du GR2013 seeks to develop a shared understanding of place, and explore the idea that storytelling can act as a foundation for shaping the way we inhabit our territory together.
