Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier is an art project which includes this video. The work takes as a point of departure the experience of being Australians in Paris and reading George Perec's book Life a User's Manual. In this book Perec creates a puzzle of a novel set in a building located in the 17th arr. of Paris at number 11 rue Simon-Crubellier.
Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier is processed based. It is an actual search for an imaginary place - exploring actual and imagined relations to place. It poses the question: is it possible to bring something that does not exist into existence by searching for it?
