Didier Hilar is an architect, designer and artistic director of the Revue NATIVES.

Be silent and welcome the information from the beings present, access this communicative Whole who will welcome the project (architectures, scenes, shapes, signs, drawings, artifacts, etc.);

this is, according to Didier Hilar, the necessary prerequisite for any intervention, installation or even creation.
