hey:))

im lys, a phd student in arts based in east london. i grew up in france and later studied in montreal. i usually travel alone by bus and use it as part of my research: i write psychogeographic entries, take blurry pictures and print them on thermal receipts

im quiet at first but genuinely curious about other people's stories and ways of seeing. im a terrible cook and a very clumsy person, my favourite color is grey, and im (unsurprisingly) a good existential crisis partner

i can show you london's diy scenes, parks, canals, and its eerie spaces

Music, Movies, and Books

i love trance, ambient and witch house: music to listen to through the bus window or while watching city lights
i record sounds from every place i visit to build a life soundtrack:)
i studied film and art, so i enjoy watching movies and debating them. my favourite ones are those i havent seen yet but that mattered to you

im always open to discover new things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i crossed the world for love (and it didnt work, but it gave me a life in london)

What I Can Share with Hosts

im quiet at first but i smile a lot afterwards:)

i can also print our memories on black and white receipts

(and i bake burned desserts)
