For her residency project in Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds on the theme of youth, Emanuela Cherchi is focusing on the time of adolescence. No longer children and not yet adults, adolescents find themselves in a moment of transition that is characterised by a physical and mental transformation. Her intention is to tell the story of this moment of passage not only through her adult eyes but also through the personal visions of the adolescents themselves. In addition to her own photographs, she entrusts disposable cameras to a group of young people from Estonia. The teenagers have one month to tell their daily story through a limited number of images. The use of a film camera imposes on them a different relationship to the image and to the time of the shooting, encouraging slowness and reflection, as opposed to the digital image which is immediate, fast and unlimited. This participative approach involving the active participation of teenagers is carried out in collaboration with the CAJ of Castelnau d'Estrétefonds (Centres d'Animation Jeunesse), a structure that opened its doors to her, thus allowing her to come into contact with a very heterogeneous group of young people. But the artist does not exclude coming into contact with other groups of young people, if the health conditions allow it. Do not hesitate to come and meet Emanuela Cherchi in November and December in order to fully participate in this new photographic residence in Castelnau d'Estrétefonds, a human and artistic adventure.
