“UNE VIE EN NOIR ET BLANC” at LES RENCONTRES D’ARLES



-

In june 2010 I began a collaboration with Preface, part of Leo Lagrange Foundation, which mission is to provide professional education and training in several fields. I was hired to give workshops to groups of inmates of Arles prison participating in a long term formation program about digital images production and management.

Since then I have been several times to prison for other projects; the experience is certainly interesting and obtained  interest from public and professionals.

The ten images produced during the first workshop, entitled  ”Une vie en noir et blanc”, were also appreciated by Francois Hebel, Director of Les Rencontres d’Arles, who wanted to expose them along with those taken by my colleague Michel Gasarian.

Both works will then be on display from 2011 July 4 until 2011 september 28 at Saint-Cesaire Convent under the title “Imprisonment seen from the inside – Workshops in the penitential of Arles.”

About marcoambrosi

I was born in Congo from Belgian mother and Italian father: this is probably why I'm so fascinated by cultural hybridization and by extreme situations. I began photographing at the age of twelve and since that moment I've never stopped experimenting new ways to produce and use images. I work as a commercial photographer, producing all sorts of photos for business communication: landscape, portrait, architecture, still life, surreal images. In my work I put all my passion and my expertise, offering every time an original narrative. I work hard for myself too: for fun, research, promotion. I exhibited and published in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, UK, Poland, Greece, USA, China, Nigeria, Slovakia, Sweden, Lithuania. Finally, I teach and use photography as a means to encourage thinking. I am a professor, surrounded by prestigious colleagues at the State University of Kwara State in Nigeria. I am also called to propose and develop cooperation projects based on the use of photography.
