Jens Denissen is an urban and landscape planner, co-founder of the association Le Voyage métropolitain.
Maëlle Tardivel is a writer and guide.
Since June 2014, Le Voyage métropolitain questions, explores and reveals the territories of the metropolis. Exploratory and collective walks, an attention to what surrounds us, but also the sharing of impressions and knowledge, form an experimental approach situated between art, urbanism, ecology and geography in order to actively contribute to the construction of a territorial narrative based on in situ experience.
In 2024, Jens Denissen & Maëlle Tardivel are organizing two walking itineraries around the urban territory of the Greater Paris Metropolis (in Gentilly and Choisy-le-Roi) with the Générateur, as part of La Métropolitaine, the MGP’s international contemporary art event.
