CLICKS AND CATCHES WITH THE PAPETE

Clicks and Catches in Papete (Tembec Factory, Tartas)
2006-2007

Symbol of Tartas, economic body, industrial architecture, every morning we passed in front of by school bus, by car…
Everyone knows it, breathes it… Of day as night it changes the graphics of the sky.
And yet let us look we it without seeing it…
To develop the direction of the glance, the observation, curiosity belongs amongst other things to the teaching of the Visual arts.
Papete was the release of this Art project and Photography. It was a question of sensitizing the teenager with his immediate environment; he to allow to apprehend an industrial architecture as much in its form that in its function. To pose on this site a young, at the same time plastic, creative and considered glance.
This action allowed the meeting between three classes of 3rd of the College Jean Rostand de Tartas and a photographer - professional plastics technician: Jean HINCKER.
The objectives were double:
Initially: to propose an initiation with numeric photography: catches of sights on site + plastic final improvements using the Photoshop Software in the course of Visual arts.
In the second time: to support a meeting with the Contemporary Photographic works lent to the establishment by the Aquitanian FRAC…
In November, vêtus of fluorescent chasubles, helmets and glasses, the 78 pupils left to the attack this monster to “totemic smoke”.
Before mitrailler the site with numerical, the pupils received information on the operation of the factory as well as an education of the glance by the analysis of works of large photographers.
“Clicks and Catches on Papete” then started.
The glance of the pupils, their capacities of invention, their adaptabilities to the software of final improvements of images knew to model this beautiful artistic project and to deliver this exposure of quality to us.
The teenagers knew to reveal Papete, to affirm their point of view, to surprise us by their vision and to fully integrate the matter of Diane ARBUS “I really believe that there are things that nobody would see whether I had not photographed them. ”
