Driven by this love of the daily newspaper, the artist who dreamed to be magician transforms a space of 500m2, place of the Quinconces in orange gardens. Card-indexed on concrete-reinforcing steels, the ton of oranges creates an olfactive and poetic landscape. A garden with the edge of the fiction.

Large Theatre Capus environment the sound performance entitled “Here, of oranges not expensive” sketch éponyme of Fernand Renaud, impressed with comic art “to dramatize the daily newspaper to illustrate its nonsense”. The Large Theatre becomes the object of the Capucins, district “popu” of Bordeaux. Environment is repeated on the square, every morning at the opening hour of the market. The geographical and social distance creates a ubuesque shift.

Immersed in an aquarium with the workshop of Jean-François Buisson, she carries out a performance of 45mn in a water with 10° in team restricted for questions of safety. Plunged in 600 liters of water, Annka prolongs the performance of the Diva carried out during exposure 7.8.9 not stop in November 2003. Between the virgin and the free woman, Annka starts dialectical between the veil and the breeches.

At the time of the 6th symposium of the Web arts presented by Capital Presence “the moment to conclude”, Annka declares “reality is only one negligible part of my imaginary”. By creating an installation of slides projected on the mouldings of the old walls of the building of the LIMA school, it suggests the dream like an exit with the absence of model (http://viventlesrousses.blogspot.com/)

Pierre Desproges wrote: “God invented the freckles at the evening of the first day, whereas it shook his brushes without mischievousness after having created the first blazing twilight.”

“During the long period of the enquiry, which sees its apogee at the XVIIe century, the russet-red ones were suspectés to maintain trade with the devil. One gave some for proof that their hair had taken the color of the flames of the hell, which they had approached too much” As if that were not enough, the doctors of the king had issued that each time a woman slept with the devil, a freckle appeared on its white skin. “It is estimated that following the Enquiry, these marks led nearly 20.000 women to roughing-hew, over one period of one century and half”, Xavier Fauche in his book specifies.

XIIIe century already, in Europe, redness is associated the “unslung forces” and with “be delirious of the lust”, so that an edict of 1254 obliges the prostitutes to dye itself into russet-red so that they are different from the women of good virtue.

Perhaps this mistrust with regard to the russet-red one it will be registered forever in our unconscious
