Although Florans Féliks initially practised engraving and drawing (especially in the context of litterary collaborations), she has also been developping space work for somes years. In collaboration with a group of women, she made a large-scale work composed of hair, sponges, wool and vines in the ravine in Saint-Paul. A collective work, developed in situ, which was then transferred within exhibition spaces to experience the spirit and songs of the ravine.
