“Emerging territories 2011-2012”, whose theme is “living spaces” is a French-German project organized in partnership with the Goethe Institute in Lille for artists who live in Germany or France. For a year and a half, Éric Giraudet de Boudemange, Freya Hattenberger, Maïté Pouleur and Sarah Ritter worked individually on art projects in order to conceive a work for the travelling exhibition and for this publication, which includes four monographs and a German translation notebook.
