The photographer Kasper Akhoj attract himself with the E.1027 (villa near the sea) creates, builds, and fits out by Eileen Gray in 1929 on the demand of his friend the architect Jean Badovici. Abandoned during several decades this house has been recently restored. Kasper Akhoj begins by speaking about the Eileen Gray way of working. In the review "The living architecture" she explains that she wants to conciliate architecture and design for answering to the needs of the owner and the moving of his body. But the name of Eileen Gray and the name of the house will quickly disappear because she will be concurrence by the famous architect Le Corbusier. This architect has made some murals on the villa walls between 1938 and 1939 and in the 1948 April number of "The today architecture" he never speaks about Eileen Gray and her work.

Since 2007 the Eileen Gray villa E.1027 (house near the sea) begins to be restored and Kasper Akhoj photographs the different steps of this restoration. His work respects the pictures made by Eileen Gray in "The living architecture" specially the perspective and the composition chosen by Eileen Gray. This art work confronts the different stratum of the villa (different owners, objects, ...) for questioning and also rejecting some contributions integrating inside the Gray art work. Kasper Akhoj speaks about the two graffitis made by two tramps during the 1990's who have inspire the exhibition title. Kasper Akhoj deals also with the murals made by Le Corbusier between 1938 and 1939. He considers that these murals has been made by a jealous rival who wanted to break the villa design.
