“LES CONTREBANDIERS”
Engaged in a reflection on cooperation, the mutualisation of means, the complementarity of skills and know-how, several cultural structures in the Occitania region are joining forces (the Residence 1+2 in Toulouse, the Centre d’art et de photographie de Lectoure, Le Bus – espace culturel mobile, the Agence de Développement de l’Economie Culturelle of Couserans and the Communauté de Communes Couserans-Pyrénées) and will accompany the photographer Marine Lanier in 2021 and 2022 during her various stays in occitanie for the continuation of the series “les contrebandiers”.
Marine Lanier produced a first corpus of images in the Alps and the Vercors as part of the national photographic commission from the Ministry of Culture “Flux, a society on the move”, led by the Centre national des arts plastiques, in partnership with the CRP/ Centre regional de la photographie Hauts-de-France and Diaphane, a photographic centre in hauts-de-France, and with the support of the Lautaret garden and the ecology department of Grenoble University. It is the Pyrenees that she wishes to continue this long-term project “Les Contrebandiers”, a documentary fable embodied by atypical characters immersed in a timeless nature.
