As part of the exhibition Les Blanches Terres by Amélie Cabocel.

The exhibition Les Blanches Terres presented the work of a young artist from Lorraine, Amélie Cabocel. Director and Michelle's granddaughter, she invites herself to a place called Blanches Terres, and invites Michelle and “the cousins” to be at the heart of her new photographic work.


Michelle and her relatives, actors of the eponymous film, are singularly revealed in this exhibition which tells about old age and which questions the place of photography in their life, at more than 80 years old: is it a way to leave a mark, is it- this the synthesis of an existence?


The exhibition experiments with a triple mise en abyme: the preparation of an exhibition at the André Malraux Cultural Center (Vandeuvre-lès-Nancy), filmed during its development, and re-exhibited at Stimultania. It included around thirty photographs, five extracts from the film, an artist's book and quotes from the protagonists.


“GENEALOGICAL TIMELINE” WORKSHOP

During the visit of the exhibition, the children discovered, integrated in the course, a leporello, this book presented upright and which takes the form of a frieze, unfolding like an accordion. The artist had included photos of his grandmother, cut out like thumbnails.
Through the technique of drawing, collage, and image manipulation, children created their own loporello, based on their experience and that of their grandparents!
Children could bring a photograph of themselves and / or one of their grandparents to incorporate into the creation; they could also take pictures of their leporello in the exhibition space.

WORKSHOP “MINUSCULE EXHIBITION”

Amélie Cabocel's exhibition presents fragments of these “tiny lives” which still bring localities such as “Les Blanches Terres” to life. The exhibition, through various mediums, tells the story of his grandmother, Michelle, and those close to her.
Inspired by the scenography presented for the occasion at Stimultania, the participants created a model of their own exhibition, made up of different types of exhibits, based on the experience of a loved one or a relative. imaginary. At the end of the workshop, the participants tried their hand at the delicate exercise of exhibition photography, using the model produced.
