Photographs taken by 85 students from four classes from the small section to CM2.
Artistic intention thought and led by Marion Bornaz, photographer.
Creation time conducted over a week and a half in May 2021.
With Florence Launay, Chrstiane Chanove, Delphine Bancs-Ruf, Nathalie Dupont.
À Le Bourg school, Villages du lac de Paladru (38).
Intervention carried by Stimultania Pôle de photographie in partnership with the DSDEN of Isère.
Support by the DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and the Le Bourg school.
For this new intervention in the schools of Isère carried out in partnership with Emmanuel Burlat, music and visual arts pedagogical advisor of the department, Stimultania invites the Lyon photographer Marion Bornaz. At the time of the meeting, Stimultania exhibited in Strasbourg “Mountains (from Lebanon to Kenya)”, inhabited by reflections around the notions of grandeur, beauty, nature but also fragility and disappearance. Words that resonate in the work developed by Marion Bornaz, images taken on the spot where lights, bodies, materials, landscapes play with the emotions and the sensitive.
It is therefore with all this, in the midst of a still delicate health situation, that the intervention is set up at the beginning of May. The intention was thought by the artist, the teachers and the children are ready. But then a pouring rain rolls in without stopping and upsets the initial plans.
Not enough to stop the photographer who, very quickly, adapts: instead of walks, routes and staging in the woods there will be construction of huts in the gymnasium with the means at hand, collection of bits of nature in the playground, inspired portraits against a gray sky background and formal searches in the interstices of buildings. Each class will have its project - its adventure and its shelter - linked to each other through the gaze of the photographer.
The images are of great finesse. They find their purpose in a set of large posters with various destinations: distributed to each child who can display it on the wall, displayed at the town hall in full view of the inhabitants, and also carefully folded to slip into deposited envelopes. in the mailboxes of the neighbors - secret artistic missives that invite themselves to people's homes.

After a first course in the management of cultural project, Marion bornaz since 2016 has been developing an author's photographic work crossed by the question of the sensitive. She went to the Bloo contemporary photography school in Lyon in 2014 and continued her self-taught trajectory by confronting her practice during workshops alongside M. Ackerman, S. Charpentier (Temps Zero collective), Olivier Culmann (Tendance Flou) or even Patrick Le Bescont from Filigranes editions. She regularly works with the cultural sector for commission work and covers the front pages of LGBT magazine Heteroclite for two years. She won the first Fisheye x Fuji prize in 2017 and during the year 2018 followed a one-year workshop with Ljubisa Danilovic and Sabrina Biancuzzi. She is shortlisted in 2018 and 2020 for the Mentor Prize (Lyon session). Following the Intervening Photographer training provided by the Diagonal network, she offers artistic intervention projects allowing her to pursue the exploration of different fields of photography. She was selected in 2019 by the Rize cultural center in Villeurbanne (69) for her first artist residency during which she carried out participatory work on the territory. In September 2020, the Une forêt project is released, an editing work accompanying Jeanne Beltane's story on the resilience process of the November 13 attacks.
