In June 2006 Stéphane Thidet brought together a group of artists at La Générale for the exhibition "Guet-Apens" [literally, "ambush," but also the French title of Sam Peckinpah's 1972 film "The Getaway"]. Julien Prévieux later reunited them at the Le Plateau/FRAC - Ile-de-France for another exhibition titled "La Position du tireur couché" ["the prone gunman," also the title of a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette].

Guet-Apens proposed that an exhibition could be put together like a dirty trick; La position du tireur couché revealed its preparations. Both were designed collectively and came out of a fictional process, with titles referring to cinema and literature. The last part of the triptych, "For a few dollars more," will be designed and produced by the same team of artists.
