Francesc Ruiz Les boules de poils de la SPA surfent sur des camions !

Francesc Ruiz’s practice centers on comics, which he treats as aesthetic, narrative, and critical material—forms that, beneath their playful surface, harbor subversive potential and function as unofficial channels of communication.

Considering context inseparable from his creative process, Ruiz roamed through Rennes, its center and its outskirts, to compose a poetic vision of the city and its region, built from signs, streets, architectures, infrastructures, and its human and non-human inhabitants, while tracing the intricate dynamics of its urban and geographical vortices.

Invited by Frac Bretagne, the artist presents an immersive installation that transforms the exhibition space into a site devoted to publishing: fanzines displayed on racks, and large-scale posters of trucks reproduced at a 1:1 scale, mediums through which he unfolds a singular narrative about the city that has welcomed him.
