Remarks on location:
The work is located on the exterior wall of the Eastern façade of the building (formerly the no 1 Fire Station of the City of Maisonneuve).
Description:
The work consists of a painting, cut into five separate pieces. Five round, monochrome panels are fixed to the wall with a metal tube. The surface of each panel is painted in a light pastel colour: green, yellow, blue, beige and pink. An address, a date and a time are recorded near each panel. Through colour and text, the artist wishes to capture memories evoking five places along Letourneux Avenue.
