After a residency in March 2019 at the Fondation Thalie, Boris Bergmann will present the fruit of his research: a poetic map, created in collaboration with the Belgian architect Bas Smets, retracing his poetic and artistic drifts in the footsteps of the artist Sophie Podolski through Brussels. On the occasion of this publication, Boris Bergmann will read aloud.
Boris Bergmann (1992, Paris) is a writer. At 15, he published his first book, Viens là que je te tue ma belle (Scali Editions), which received the Prix de Flore du lycéen in 2007.
