Goodyear Amiens

Joseph Gallix – Goodyear Amiens

“Amiens in the north of France is the place of a social conflict of 6 years opposing a strong union against Goodyear in a battle to save 1200 jobs. Some media and politicians use the matter as they want to produce show or popularity. But no one speak about these workers fighting for a simple life. What is the life of a worker, father and activist ? And does a community of workers still exist today ? I left for Amiens to meet these workers and came back having enjoyed their generosity. “

Pratique Photographique

with Maxime Guyon

This semester, students will explore how reflective surfaces transform our relationship to image and object. They become thresholds: what the object shows sometimes matters less than what its reflection reveals. Like a photosensitive material, they capture and replay the world, even embodying a form of technological and consumerist sterilization. Mirror-objects disrupt perception: as simulacra, they distort, double, multiply, or elude like a trompe-l’œil. They question what lies beyond the frame, showing what the object “sees” rather than what it is, and can become a space for self-reflection a mirror of their creator sometimes even fostering a narcissistic dimension.
