The Résidence 1+2 program is designed to stimulate reflection on society as a whole, in a collective dynamic involving all publics. This year, the work of the photographers in residence takes us on the theme of Re-Connexions!
"As homo numericus, aren't we all already connected? So what can we reconnect to? What are we ultimately disconnected from, while believing ourselves to be connected to everything and everywhere? Photographers and scientists have come together here to reflect, through the senses, on our relationships with plants, animals and ourselves - as, for example, with the phenomenon of memory. Re-connecting means imagining the forms of an ecosophical balance that takes into account the environment, politics and forms of subjectivity. Photography is more than a means of documenting or imposing a gaze: it is more than an image. It is a space for experimenting with new imaginaries in the age of the Anthropocene."
These are the opening words of Michel Poivert, photography historian and honorary patron of the Résidence 1+2. They perfectly define the collaborative and creative dynamic of the photographers, artists and scientists involved in this 8th edition.
