Damien Sausset
Après une formation universitaire et muséographique, Damien Sausset s’est orienté vers le commissariat d’exposition et la critique. Un séjour en 1992-1994 en tant que conservateur stagiaire au département de la photographie du Museum of Modern Art [New York] l’a conduit, une fois établi en France, à imaginer plusieurs expositions d’art contemporain : “Dominique Petitgand” au Centre de création contemporaine [Tours], “Trois photographes français à Pékin” [Beijing, Chine], “Henri Foucault” au Palazzo Fortuni lors de la Biennale de Venise en 2005… Depuis 2011, il dirige avec Jérôme Cotinet le centre d’art Le Transpalette à Bourges. Parallèlement, ses activités de critique l’ont amené à écrire plusieurs ouvrages sur l’art classique ou contemporain.

Claire Chevrier / Sidi Mohammed Barkat / Damien Sausset / Pia Viewing
Claire Chevrier continues her photographic exploration of humanity and its place in the world. After examining the spaces of major megacities, the artist has now focused her photographic research on workplaces. To further this research, she benefited from a residency in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in 2010, supported by the Regional Center for Photography. It was during this residency that the photographs in this book were taken. She was thus able to discover the world of large industrial sites, large and small businesses, social assistance organizations, sheltered workshops, and healthcare facilities. This entire field of work is representative of a broader spectrum that transcends the simple geographical location where Claire Chevrier worked. The images she has gathered in this book become emblematic of the world of work today, in France and elsewhere, with its own distinct spaces, its own actors, and its own unique scenography.
The texts by Sidi Mohammed Barkat, Damien Sausset, and Pia Viewing offer an interpretation of Claire Chevrier's photographic work from historical, aesthetic, and philosophical perspectives.
This book was co-published with the Centre Régional de la Photographie Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Silvana Editoriale in Italy.
It received support from the Centre national des arts plastiques, the Musée Nicéphore-Nièpce in Chalon-sur-Saône, and the APEI du Valenciennois.
