Marilina Prigent, visual artist, winner of a photographic commission from the Archives départementales de la Haute-Garonne in Toulouse.
The Résidence 1+2 and the Conseil départemental de la Haute-Garonne have joined forces to question the photographic archive, with the aim of creating an original artistic work on the site of the Archives départementales in Toulouse. A very large-format version of the work will soon be offered on the Toulouse site.
Originally from Argentina, Marilina has been questioning the construction of narratives for several years, using archival collections, letters, photographs and oral testimonies, which she then integrates into videos and installations. A protean artist, she is interested in micro-history, life stories and events linked to forgotten characters, those who escape the great History.
