This traveling exhibition is held on construction site fences at Part-Dieu, in the third arrondissement of Lyon.
The Rhône et Métropole BTP Federation invited this Friday the artist-photographer Christophe Pouget for the inauguration of his “Unique and Multiple” photo exhibition on construction trades, in its premises in Villeurbanne. Some companions and their business leaders were thus present at the federation. The opportunity for Samuel Minot to take stock of the construction trades, which turn out to be trades open to all, but also to recall the difficulties of the sector to recruit, because of negative received ideas that persist.
The Rhône Construction Federation is currently presenting the “Unique and Multiple” photo exhibition on construction site fences at La Part-Dieu – Lyon, rue du Docteur Bouchut. This free exhibition is visible in the open air until July 2021. Christophe Pouget has produced twelve portraits of companions, composed of assemblies of several photos to present the construction trades in all their facets.
Each portrait tells the identity of a profession carried by the one who exercises it and who plunges into the world of building and public works. Christophe Pouget also followed for several months the development of the site of the Place Béraudier and the hall of the Part-Dieu station in Lyon. “He thus restores the effervescence at different times of the day in an assemblage of fragments of images, his artist’s signature”, notes BTP Rhône.
Promote our businesses by different means
“We have chosen to promote our businesses by different means. It is essential for our companies which have the will and the need to recruit. Christophe Pouget’s photographic recomposition work covers both sites and portraits. We were won over by this approach. Christophe started this project in February 2020. The exhibition features twelve different trades: machine operator, electrician, plumber, concrete paver, tiler, piper, carpenter, aerial network fitter, mason, roofer, painter and glazier. Christophe made portraits of companions with an artistic eye. Art invites itself into the street, at a time when it became impossible to enter a dedicated room or a museum. An original way of showing the reality, the beauty and the ardor of our professions ”, explained in a press release Samuel Minot, president of the Rhône and Metropolis construction federation.
For his part, Christophe Pouget also presented his approach. “Each time I went to see a companion, I took the time to get to know each other, to discuss our backgrounds, our jobs. I take 150 to 200 photos for each portrait. And, then, when I recompose my “painting”, I integrate thirty to sixty pieces of images for a portrait. On the other hand, for the Part-Dieu site, it is different, there are more than five hundred pieces of images. It is not the same job: the area to be illustrated is much larger and I have come back to it several times. I always try to be right. Whether in reportage or in my artistic work. For the recomposed portraits of the trades, I arrived each time in a new universe, in which I had to find a staging to achieve. The idea is precisely to translate their reality and promote their profession. “
Christophe Pouget has drawn up a report in the form of a call to join these professions. “There is a lot of nobility in the construction trades. If I were in front of kids looking for work, I would say to them: “go for it”! I met people who were really passionate about their profession, people who were really in their place, fulfilled … And I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know. In these professions, all natural aptitudes are welcome, for example I am thinking of Margaux, the 18-year-old roofer who has the agility to move on the roofs … Or Sébastien, the aerial network fitter who climbs along poles , and who does not have vertigo, who loves nature and whom I met in the middle of a wood with his teammate … “
