Centre d’art plastiques Fernand Léger
As part of the Grand Arles Express : Et qu’on ne vienne pas nous dire que le vent chasse tout
From July 4 to September 5, 2025
By Nina patin & Paul Cabanes
Located between Marseille and the Camargue, the Gulf of Fos is France’s most industrialized region. Locally, industry has brought about real economic growth. However, its presence has had a significant impact on health and the environment. This ambivalent region inspires both bitterness and pride in its inhabitants, who remain attached to their jobs, heritage, and traditions. Nina Patin and Paul Cabanes present a large-scale photographic work that raises a key question: what exists in the Gulf of Fos beyond the media spotlight? They explore these spaces in their moments of latency. On foot, our photographers have explored and experienced these landscapes to obtain a general repertoire of images that convey unique stories. This poetic and critical work now offers a visual map of this territory, which is being built and deconstructed as environmental transformations take place.
