Conducted since 2017 by two teacher-photographers, Tadashi Ono and Gilles Saussier, this workshop offers 1st-year Masters’ students the opportunity to encounter the diversity of the Arles region. Photography is approached as a practice bound to the criteria of attention, experience, investigation and recording. Teaching a practice is never exclusively concerned with valuing its object or objectivity (images); it’s also about exploring both who we become
through this learning and what a practice, through its dynamics, opens up in us and in the world, its relational value.

Each student combines a collection of signs, forms and information from her or his encounters and questions, into an editorial publication. The volumes published by the ENSP over the past seven years constitute an extensive visual memory of the Arles region, well beyond the historical and tourist epicenter of France’s largest commune.

Curators : Gilles Saussier et Tadashi Ono.

Production by École nationale supérieure de la photographie and Les Rencontres d’Arles.
