Upside down guide

Anne-Sophie Turion expresses her appetite for the living and the visual in the form of in-situ interventions, performances, shows. In the black box or in the open air, she attacks reality to orchestrate it into fiction. Using humorously the artifices of the theater or the cinema, she creates stories with apparent cogs: spectacular images and scenarios are constructed on sight, letting real life take hold on all sides.

Anne-Sophie often works with four hands: she has designed several projects as a duo with performer Jeanne Moynot (Bordel in 2017, Le poil de la bête and It remains between us in 2018, Belles plants in 2019) and is currently starting a new creation with the choreographer Eric Minh Cuong Castaing as part of their pair residency at Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto).

Founded in 2021, his company, Grandeur nature, is supported by ActOral, Artist support office (Marseille).

Pataphysical guides

Created in 2008, Agonie du Palmier is a collective based in Marseille.
It hosts shows created within it and supports them throughout their creation and distribution. Each show has its own identity according to the team that constitutes it because the artists of the collective come from various artistic practices. The collective gives itself the right to regularly change shape in order to be as close as possible to the reality of those who compose it. Today the artistic direction is provided by Coline Found and Pierrick Bonjean. They give the shows clownish, ‘pataphysical tints; in the street, in an apartment, in a conference, at the bar counter, on a Villosophical stroll … They work again and again on the absurdity of the world which makes them living performers, not yet dead.

Anthropologist revealing heritage

Nathalie Cazals is driven by her curiosity and the desire to understand how things work around us. Always in search of meaning when she engages in an adventure.
A (in) quest on cultural identities for her doctorate and here she is an archaeologist for more than 15 years. Thus, from the hands in the earth to a systemic view of culture, it develops a wide range of knowledge and promotes heritage in multiple forms. It supports communities and the associative sector in the implementation of cultural projects whose values come from popular education and through the application of Cultural Rights, by creating synergies between tourism, cultural and social actors.
Author of stories, Nathalie Cazals shares her investigations of Marseille, with meticulousness and scientific analysis and a zest of artistic renditions during urban walks.

Co-founder of the GR2013, Loïc Magnant is more often in the organization of walks than in accompanying them. But these incessant surveys prompted him in 2015 – at the request of MUCEM – to create a heritage walk around the perimeter of the Etang de Berre, a walk that remains at the heart of the news.

Antoine Devillet is a researcher in philosophy within the Bureau des guides of the GR2013, at the intersection between philosophical, landscape and artistic investigations and the creation of collective territorial communities of citizens. He graduated in Philosophy of Science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles following the defense of his thesis on artificial reefs as a technical trajectory showing changes in conservation biology practices.

In 2003 after having developed several artistic projects and spaces in Paris in the field of experimental culture (the Guinguette Pirate, the Batofar), Julie de Muer moved to Marseille, where she directed the cultural radio station Radio Grenouille and the sound creation studio Euphonia, until 2009.

There, she developed her taste for hybridization, and through various media tools, mixed artistic scientific and citizen approaches, to issues around territory.

From 2009, she became an independent creator and producer, deepening her activity around the interactions between art, heritage and territories. Walking practice became a principle tool.

In the context of Marseille-Provence 2013, the European Capital of Culture, walking practices supported or co-founded several regional projects with artistic teams (the Tourist Agency with Mathias Poisson, GR2013 with the walking artists, Les promenades Sonores with Radio Grenouille ) or with local residents (Hôtel du Nord cooperative).

Today, she is mainly devoted to the Hôtel du Nord cooperative and to the GR2013 Bureau des guides, and regularly intervenes in the field of social innovation (27th region) or in training (FAI-AR, University of Provence, Conseil of Europe, School of Landscape, Architecture, etc.).
