A photographic residency in a psychiatric environment<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Autumn 2020. Photographer Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Stucin pushes open the door of La P’tite Caf\u00e8te in Niort. Adjacent to the hospital’s psychiatric ward, this is a place where patients can spend a few moments, have a drink, eat an ice cream, watch a game on TV, chat with each other or with the nursing staff. One week a month, the photographer will invite them to create, together, “real dream portraits”. A photograph that tells their story, that says what they want to say about themselves at that moment. The aim of this project is to ensure that the outside view is no longer an obstacle, but rather an opportunity to share. We want patients to be seen rather than looked at. Les Interstices <\/em>is a project co-constructed by La Villa P\u00e9rochon, the psychiatric department of the Niort hospital, the Peppsy association – Pr\u00eats et Externalisation pour la Psychiatrie -, la P’tite Caf\u00e8te and Radio Pinpon. Supported by the Minist\u00e8re de la Culture – Drac Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Agence R\u00e9gionale de Sant\u00e9 de Nou- velle-Aquitaine. A jury made up of La Villa P\u00e9rochon staff, hospital staff and patients selected Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Stucin’s “Portrait porte-r\u00eave” project from among 80 applications received in 2020.Between December 2020 and January 2022, the photographer spent one week a month at La P’tite Caf\u00e8te. He went to meet the patients. Their stories became the starting point for staged portraits, with the patients becoming the scriptwriters of the photographic creation, combining the real and the imaginary. As the weeks went by, a strong relationship of trust developed with both the patients and the nursing staff. Little by little, other departments that were not involved at the outset joined in the project: the adolescent department, psycho-geriatrics, addictology… Every weekend, a series of prints was produced and shown to all, prompting discussion and debate, reflection and support. The Interstices<\/em>, the exhibition and the book are the fruits of this long residency.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Les interstices<\/em> exhibition features 80 photographs. Small, trombinoscope-style formats where caregivers mingle with patients, large architectural landscapes set in the meanders of the hospital and large-format “material” portraits in which faces and asperities of the walls merge, the walls transpiring the human environment and the faces the daily life of the premises. A soundtrack recorded by patients using Radio Pinpon’s microphone accompanies the exhibition. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The book<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The question of what to do after the Artist Residency soon arose. After the vernissage and the moments of shared joy, the idea of a book quickly took hold. The result is a 120-page book published by Editions Filigranes, which highlights the photographer’s writing and the social, artistic and health-related aspects of this experience.With a text by Ondine Millot, Les Interstices <\/em>– the book – brings together some of the photographs presented in the exhibition. Like Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Stucin, Ondine Millot immersed herself in the P’tite Caf\u00e8te for a week in January 2022, gathering stories and testimonials. “Our care nestles in the interstices. That’s the phrase used by \u00c9ric L. to sum it all up: the packets of one-euro cakes, the drawings and poems on the walls, the Radio Pinpon sessions, the consoling grenadine, the hand on the shoulder, the little joke, the wink, the coffee squeezed for comfort, the glances, just being there. […] The interstices,” says \u00c9ric, “to express this listening, this unquantifiable, untraceable attention, which doesn’t fit into Excel spreadsheets, which takes an incalculable amount of human time.”<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
