Disparues

With Disparues, Juliette Hauguel presents a series of directional signs indicating fictional streets named after real female figures, such as programmer Ada Lovelace, journalist Ida B. Wells, and mountaineer Junko Tabei. Designed as a treasure hunt punctuating the city, the work materializes the absence and highlights a possible evolution by adopting the codes of temporary signage. Placed throughout the city, the work surprises visitors along usual routes, inviting them to extend their paths in search of more nonexistent streets and the disappeared personalities they represent.

Juliette Hauguel's participation in Un Été Au Havre takes place within the framework of a partnership between the event and the Art option with a specialisation in Environments and Public Situations at ésadhar. Since 2019, volunteer students have participated in a call for projects with the artistic director of the event, during which they propose a work for the season.

The artwork Disparues by Juliette Hauguel received technical support from the École de Production de la Métropole Havraise.
