Frédéric Ferrer / Cie Vértical Détour « The question of climate change fascinates me because of its vertiginous aspect. It allows, it forces us to think and to re-thing mankind and his relationship to the world. This is what feeds my desire to create, not the will to deliver any sort of message. – FrédéricFerrer

Role of the artist/ Role of the organisation Cultural institutions created Thin Ice and want to suggest solutions with the help of the artists. Do you think that this sort of positioning is possible? “ Yes, and perhaps more than a positioning of the artists themselves. Mixing together artists working in different fields, different art forms, could allow the cultural institutions to think tomorrow’s world and to invent leads and proposals. But I won’t say that the artists have to relinquish that. Artists can very easily be at the core of such reflections.”
Role of the artist/ Role of the organisation “ The Thin Ice call to which I responded fitted into something that I wanted to do. I did not feel trapped by it in any way. Quite to the contrary, it allowed to trigger something that I had already thought of creating. It was not an order. It can resemble the way in which today’s attention to climate change is felt: whether in a framework of international negotiations or at the level of the individual, you can reduce your impact if you want to. Nothing needs to be experienced as an order from the outside.”
