Photography is an art. A cultural activity. A social tool. A means to document. A vehicle to provoke encounters, to elicit exchanges, to express emotions, to uncover truth, to recognize oneself, to spark conversations. It is an “intermediate art”.

In a time when photography is commonly biased through a suggestive or partisan filter imposed by the media and is susceptible to erroneous representations, the project Le chemin de l’école touches by its sincere and spontaneous subjectivity: It does not seek to achieve technical perfection, yet strives for a technique that allows to capture, through images, a different reality around a neutral theme that leaves everything to the subjective interpretation of the photographer and the viewer, thereby inevitably creating a relation between the two. And it is exactly in this capacity where the project takes on its significance as an “intermediate art”: it leads its young participants and the audience to new horizons and invites them to a visual dialogue surrounding social realities that divide and unite us at the same time.  – It is unique, personal, and more than anything: profoundly human.

As such, this project challenges and escapes biases and erroneous representations, and uses photography as an agent for collaboration and solidarity – an agent for change.
