Beaubourg works focus on projects engaging with the book "La soi-disant utopie du centre beaubourg" (Editions Entente, 1976), written by Swiss sociologist Albert Meister under the pseudonym Gustave Affeulpin. The book's publication coincided with the opening of the Centre Beaubourg in Paris. The fictional story imagines a radical libertarian space seventy-six floors beneath the newly opened centre of French culture, providing a platform for alternative ways of living, working, and creating.

I first encountered the book in 1994 through the Italian translation ("Sotto il beaubourg," Eleuthera, 1988). During a residency at Rooseum in Malmö in 2002, I bega revisiting the book through installations, graphic works, and happenings.

In 2007, commissioned by Casco Art Institute and Book Works, I worked on the first English translation of the original text, introducing it to a broader audience. This project aimed to revitalise a significant yet forgotten cultural treatise and reflect on the artist's subjective role in transferring ideas across cultural frameworks and eras.
