Aurélien Mole wears multiple hats (artist, exhibition curator, art critic, exhibition photographer, historian of photography) which offer him the possibility of transferring artistic practices from one discipline to another.

At the René Cassin college, he offers an evolving exhibition. Initially, in the exhibition hall, origami in the shape of crystals will be exhibited. These origami actually contain a program of micro-actions carried out by the artist within the college grounds, in secret from the students. These folded sheets, each describing an action, will be left to the free will of the students: each week, a student will have to choose to leave the folded sheet in the form of origami or to unfold it, in order to discover one of the micro-actions of the artist and thus lose its crystal form forever.

Should we prioritize form or action? A reflection on this dual nature of art, both material and immaterial.
