Description
Summary:The homeless' spatial practices are not well-known: that's why we tried, relying on several interviews, to study their spatiality which is similar to a perpetual fight. Forced to move by frequent explusions, yet their way of life is sedentary. This sedentarity has been increased by the use of tents which contribute to the homeless visibility in society.
