Artist residency supported by the Ministry of Culture within the framework of the Capsule system.
With the support from the gîte An olive tree in the stars.
In 2020, Stimultania is launching a call for projects for an elegantly named creative residency 5 stars. Léonie Pondevie, artist photographer living in Lorient,
is the winner: she will be hosted for 8 weeks at Givors to develop a personal project.
In February 2021, whether wind, rain or snow, the photographer crisscrosses the city and follows its rivers: the Rhône river but also the two rivers that flow into it, the Gier and the Garon. She walks for long hours, photographing places, details, people; picking up on its way vestiges, pieces of glass and coal, traces of the industrial past of the city.
In April, Léonie Pondevie slowly finds her marks. The grass has grown in the places visited and the light is no longer the same but its production is refined and a very beautiful photographic set takes shape. She then imagines a route, a sort of treasure hunt that invites curious walkers to follow in her footsteps and discover, as they go, hidden fragments of the final edition of the project presented in the form of a set of postcards. .
