The Christmas holidays in the archives: Mairie d’Avignon
Born in the second quarter of the 19th century, photography became more democratic at the end of the 19th century. Itinerant photographers then “shot” the portrait of the inhabitants in their street, of the traders in front of their business, of the regulars on the terrace of their favorite café…
The workshop proposed by the Archives of the City allows 4 groups of 2, 3 or 4 people to reconnect with the photographic processes of our ancestors by forgetting (almost) the optics of our smartphones, to create portraits in small groups, from loading the camera to developing the negative in the heart of the archives.
