Le Mirail (2013)
Invited to work in the notoriously vulnerable Toulouse neighborhood of Le Mirail, I turned my attention to the buildings, which are specific and yet representative of other large housing estates, and to the young people who here, as elsewhere, are referred to collectively, stereotyped, when of course they are individuals. And so I walked this territory, from one block to the next, everywhere, to each nook and cranny. It turned out to be filled with paradoxes: at once welcoming and hostile, functional and absurd. I captured a few aspects of it. I also asked volunteers to take me somewhere important to them, where they liked to hang out. Then I had them pose, but without looking at me, immersed instead in their own world. In this distinct, very visible environment, these young people hold on, almost absent, waiting—becoming.
Artist residency followed by an exhibition along with a publication, Galerie du Château d’Eau, Toulouse, 2013.
