Seeing is believing...
To do:
- Visit the FRAC exhibition with a friend (take your time looking at each photo, keep an open mind...).
- Choose a photo one of you likes and the other dislikes.
- Write down your description of the photograph.
- Write down what you think the "meaning" of the photo is.
- Carry out research on the photo and on the photographer and his work in general (use the computer terminals on the first floor of the FRAC).
- Summarise what the photographer and critics have said about the photograph you have chosen.
- What does the photo say about the way the photographer sees today's world do you think (write down your answer)?
- How much do you share his way of seeing things (write down your answer)?
- Record your conversation about the photo on your cell phone (make sure the recording is very clear), each saying clearly why he likes or dislikes the picture.
- We will listen to your recorded conversation in class (whilst looking at a copy of the photo).

Ce n'est pas de l'art à la louche! By Benedicte, Lucile & Alice (aka BLA!)
Dove
Allouche is a Parisian photographer born in 1972. His work can be
seen from the 15th of October until the 30th of December 2011 at the
FRAC in Clermont-Ferrand.
This exhibition is of the
work he has done during the last decade, about time and image. There
are one hundred and forty short exposure photos. He captures the instant which
normally we cannot see.
In the
poetically named “Le diamant d’une étoile a rayé le fond du
ciel” ("The diamond of a star has scratched the back of the sky"), the artist shows off his virtuosity. Five years were
needed to finally achieve this picture.
Allouche's work is
impressive... Not to go and see it would be "louche" (this is a pun on the artist's name; "louche" means "equivocal" but also "to squint" in French)!
