C.C.C. (Club Colombophile du Cœur) is a video game inspired by the workshops carried out by artist Eric Giraudet de Boudemange during his residency run by CAC Brétigny. In 2017, Cœur d'Essonne Agglomeration entered into a three-year partnership with the Regional Cultural Affairs of Île-de-France and the Académie de Versailles by signing a Local Art Education Contract, in partnership with the department of Essonne. This mission-residency was carried out in favor of the inhabitants of the territory, and more particularly of the youth, from a network of schools, associations and cultural, social, socio-cultural, economic and educational structures of Cœur d'Essonne Agglomeration.
In partnership with various pigeon fanciers from Essonne, the artist created a collaborative dovecot, and conducted a series of workshops and performances open to all, inspired by scientific experiments on avian navigation. This starting point opened up to meditation through the study of the flight of pigeons in the manner of ancient omens. pigeon-club.fr synthesizes it into a wacky story where the productions of the educational workshops are mingled with a fictional initiatory journey. The project also took the form of an exhibition at CAC Brétigny (phare) in September 2020.
