Zak Sally brought a piano player roll. On one side, a hundred of small holes and on the other the lyrics of “After the war is over, will there be any home sweet home”.
A piano player roll full of poetry.

Saturday, August 10, 5 am – Paris Charles de Gaulles airport – Sandrine Martin, Pierre Ferrero and Jean-Christophe Menu are already working on a project.
Sandrine proposes to start a collective diary and JCM proposes to write a story with the following constraint : they’ll have to use all the cars appearing on his berliner notebook… they’re on it !
A notebook with cars on its cover and JCM gets an idea!

Monday, August 12, 10 am, first day of PFC#4, MCAD Minneapolis, room #430.
Calm before the storm…
All authors and the ChiFouMi team are all together, ready to begin the residency.
Anders Nilsen exposes his collective book project that he set up with Zak Sally and June. The authors will work in pairs and will have to draw one page per couple. A subject : “Break something” and a list of characters are imposed.
Each author choses a character in Anders list. On this pic, Eleonor Davis.
Choices are quickly made : Sandrine Martin choses “God”, Jim Rugg “Unicorn”, Eugène Riousse “Mad scientist”, etc.
The french authors randomly draw their north-american partner.
The north-american team is waiting for the results.
French/north-american couples are done, constraints are given.
Another exercise : Zak Sally brought a player piano roll and proposes the authors to imagine a way to use it.
Pierre Ferrero is inspired at once and the day is only beginning!
