Caroline Bach
Photographe
Caroline Bach est née en 1968. Elle vit à Nice. Depuis 2006, avec Le cycle du travail, elle interroge cette ambivalence qui, sans cesse, est à l’œuvre dans notre monde. Deux grands axes l’organisent : une exploration du monde industriel et une interrogation sur l’accueil et le traitement de l’être humain lorsqu’il se retrouve en bordure de son humanité (SDF, personnes atteintes d’Alzheimer, etc.).
Dites-nous comment survivre à notre condition
Caroline Bach / Dominique Baqué
Factory closures and mass layoffs have become the news, representing the crisis. Workers are fighting back, trying to defend jobs they know are often irreplaceable, their struggle crystallizing the divide between the real economy and the speculative economy.
In this photographic series, Caroline Bach returned to the sites where conflicts had occurred, sometimes a year later, recording the traces left by the confrontations, as a final tribute to these collective struggles. Her photographs
reinvent the landscape genre: the locations are chosen for the memory they continue to hold, traces sometimes barely legible left after periods of social conflict: the negative image of a bygone action that eludes journalistic observation.
Dominique Baqué accompanies the images with an openly politically engaged text, while also situating the photographs within a broader reflection on the representation of work.
