Benjamin Franklin often practised his Thirteen weeks of virtue – with week after week of sobriety, silence, order, steadfastness, thriftiness, application, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, peace of mind and chastity. Instilled by this “recipe for living”, Stéphane Olry undertook a writing project bound by certain rules, now delivered in a format between performance and exhibition.
