From the point of view of creation, that is to say, from the point of view of what connects the diversity of what I do, there is a relationship to the living, the imaginary and the contemporary, which comes from the field experience. This performativity of creation, of dwelling and of living, brings the critical distance (negativity) closer to the necessity of imagining (creation) thus opening up a space of resistance and ethical imagination that I sometimes designate by a reciprocal expression that could be translated as The workshoped field/The workshop as field. This article takes shape from within the workshop of a small book in process and it turns its attention towards one of the terrains of proximity of this performative experience : the expropriated house that Patricia de Burgh Paré moves from Sainte-Scholastique to a Laurentian forest near a settlement village and an Indian reserve. A laboratory-house where I live and wich I have unbuilt, built, rebuilt for more than a decade. To live with this house means experiencing with my body some of the violence specific to a human culture of space in its relationship with a posture of creation. An anthropological meditation and dialogue with creation as a decisive question about life and the living.
