The NEW PATRONS of Blessey (Burgundy- France)
Artist: Rémy Zaugg
Mediator: Xavier Douroux, Le Consortium


The last 17 residents of Blessey are facing the demise of their village.
Together with the mediator from NEW PATRONS and the Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg, they begin an eight-year adventure of redesigning and rebuilding their village, in so doing restoring the self-image of their small community. They build walls and pathways, a large pond, and bridge traditional construction with contemporary materials and forms. Their action becomes a symbol for the attempt to save this impoverished and thinly populated region.
