The CPIF hosts an exhibition of works from the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain collection. This commission is part of the ongoing commitment of an association, PEROU, because: “It involves paying attention to how we collectively see Calais, because it involves looking beyond what seems obvious to so many and finally telling the story of a town/world crushed under the weight of a form of base iconography that only shows the very worst, because it involves making way at last for this “invisible town”, a town made up of buildings, dreams, human relationships and businesses of all sorts, all of which contribute to making a place what it really is and finally because it involves making public a different political interpretation and realising, at last, that the New Jungle in Calais is a “tiers paysage” (third landscape).” (Gilles Clément, President of PEROU).
