Louis Frehring’s residency at École Paul-Émile Victor took place in two stages. The first gave pupils from nursery school through to the final year of primary school the opportunity to meet him and discuss his work, in order to gain an understanding of his interests and working methods.

A few weeks later, he spent a week working at the school on his Soustractions series, while pupils came to observe the creative process and discuss it with him. Finally, accompanied by their teachers, they explored some of the questions raised by this research in their own way. Each pupil produced an artwork, which was exhibited alongside Louis Frehring’s work in an exhibition organised at the school.
