At the end of 2019, I finally discovered a passageway into the heart of a brownfield site I'd been coveting. Inside, it's a jackpot: miles of immaculate walls, diverse and varied, two 10,000m2 platters.

With the help of an accomplice named Espack, we quickly set about painting there, for several days, which would become several months, until we felt completely at home. We decided to paint the entire second floor, and then we planned to invite around fifty graffiti artists to paint the first floor over the course of a day.

Unfortunately, due to the vagaries of life, we were unable to complete the project. So as not to remain frustrated, we decided to immortalize this adventure in a book. And now it's done!

Le Royaume is a plunge into the intimacy of two artists, over a short period of a few months, between painting and parenthood, inspiration failures and stories of raids, exhibition preparations and peregrinations. An artist's life!
