Arles en Juillet, Aramon en septembre...
Est-ce ainsi que les Roms Vivent ?
Suite photographique de
N_VR/Natalie Victor-Retali
C'est en voulant aider la communauté Roms lors d'un conflit avec EDF (le squat entier était branché sur le même pylône) que j'ai été invitée à faire ces photos.
Ce que je veux montrer dans ces images c'est l'effort permanent qui est fourni par cette population, pourtant régulièrement ostracisée, pour vivre dans la dignité.
Comme on peut le voir, cela leur est particulièrement difficile, tant il est compliqué de gérer, par exemple, une seule arrivée d'eau (froide) pour tout le squat (plusieurs dizaines de personnes)...
Je suis arrivée dans les premiers jours de beau temps du printemps, c'était jour de lessive et il était plus que temps car certains enfants n'avaient plus rien à se mettre pour aller à l'école tant il avait plu précédemment et le linge ne peut sécher que dehors, l'intérieur étant humide et peu ou pas chauffé...Or, les enseignants commençaient à penser à signaler les absences des enfants.
Les toilettes, collectives, consistaient en une bâche pudiquement tendue au dessus d'une bouche d'égout ouverte. Michaïl, mon guide, prétendait avoir trouvé son vélo « par là » ; son père avait rassemblé suffisamment de planches et de plaques de plexiglas pour leur construire une cabane correcte. Mais pour se chauffer, il fallait « casser des palettes » et il était tout étonné que moi, je n'aie pas besoin de casser des palettes pour me chauffer... Dans la cabane un vieil ordinateur ressuscité, semblait attendre un peu de courant pour refonctionner.
Un peu plus loin, une grand-mère cuisinait fièrement, sur un vieux bidon coupé en deux, la viande que son fils avait récupérée dans les poubelles du supermarché voisin... Une maman étendait le linge sur un reste de terrasse devant la maison en ruines qu'elle squattait avec son bébé, des cartons isolait les lits des murs humides...
Un petit garçon exhibait gravement le camion dont un autre ne voulait plus...
Nous sommes bien en France au 21eme siècle !
Is this how Roma Live ?
Photographs by Natalie Victor-Retali/N_VR
I was invited to take photos in a Roma squat connected to a single high-voltage tower, in the mids of a dispute with the energy supplier EDF.
My aim was to make visible the resilience of this over-marginalized community and their ongoing stuggle for a dignified existence.
What I encountered was harrowing : dozens of people living with only one cold water source, improvised toilets, damp shacks without heating, children unable to attend school because their clothes wouldn't dry...
Yet there was also pride and resourcefulness : a father building a shelter with found materials, a grandmother cooking on a scrap of metal, a boy proudly showing his second-hand toys.
These images reveal not only the harsh reality but also the human dignity that endures in spite of everything. This too in France today.
Ice BlueS sera exposée à la Médiathèque d' Aramon (30) dans le cadre du festival "Emergences" .
Le festival aura lieu les 11, 12 et 13 septembre mais l'exposition sera visible
du 1er au 29 septembre aux heures d'ouverture de la Médiathèque.

Présentation
La série de diptyques « Ice Blues » est née de la
rencontre fortuite dans l’oeil d’une photographe d'un Ice
bar de Copenhague et d'un glacier de Patagonie.
Deux séries de photos bleues, deux séries de photos de
glace mais en contradiction profonde l'une avec l'autre.
La glace de l'Ice Bar, artificielle et scintillante arbore le
bleu de méthylène des becs bunsen, elle est issue d'un
gaspillage éhonté d'énergie et de gaz fluorés et
participe de la fonte des glaciers de Patagonie.
Ceux-ci, d'un bleu naturel et délicat semblent crier ; ils
se tordent, craquent et s'effondrent à force de
réchauffement, à force d'indifférence.
Le rapprochement de ces deux séries permet à la
photographe de tenir ensemble les deux bouts de la
chaîne du réchauffement climatique ; les causes
[fabriquer de la glace artificielle a un coût énergétique
et environnemental important], et les conséquences [la
fonte des glaciers du bout du monde suite au
réchauffement climatique.]
Cette série permet de dénoncer le réchauffement
climatique, ses causes et ses conséquences sans pour
autant se priver de belles images, car la glace qu'elle
soit artificielle ou naturelle garde, pour l'oeil, sa part de
beauté et de mystère.

Presentation
The « Ice Blues » diptych series has been created after
the fortuitous encounter between an Ice Bar in
Copenhaguen and a Patagonia glacier. Two blue
photographs series, two ice photographs series, but
both are in deep contradiction with one another. The Ice
bar artificial and glinting ice displays the Bunsen
burners methylene blue. It comes from a shameless
waste of energy. It contributes to the melting of
Patagonia glaciers. The latter, delicately and naturally
blue, seem to be screaming. The glaciers twist, split and
collapse, because of warming, because of indifference.
Getting closer together these two photographs series
allows the photographer to encompass both ends of the
global warming phenomenon – the causes
(manufacturing artificial ice with an important energy
expenditure) and the consequences (glaciers melting
down at the other end of the world as a result of global
warming). This photograph series is a way of
denouncing global warming, its causes and its
consequences, without for all that depriving ourselves
of pretty pictures. Whether artificial or natural, to the
eye of the beholder, ice keeps a part of beauty and
mystery.
A très bientôt Ici ou là..
