104

On Sunday I went to the arts complex '104' to check out the activities there and see a film of Georges Perec's short novel 'A Man Asleep'. 104 is way up in the north east of Paris, a series of renovated old buildings turned into studios, performance spaces, screening spaces etc. Formally a funeral parlour, the space is stunningly impressive and the whole place is a thriving hub of activities at the weekends when the doors are open to the public. I went to see a film but managed to also bumble firstly into a large scale gardening installation and secondly into a highly energetic, kooky performance piece. The film was wonderful and being Paris very well attended and followed by an intense and lively discussion, hosted by a local film magazine.
