BERCY STREET WORKOUT PHOTOGRAPHIES 2020-2023 - Every day, many people visit the municipal street workout area in Bercy Park, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. One of them, Medhy, is behind several projects and initiatives aimed at transforming the site into much more than just a sports field. In May 2020, he invited Marine Peixoto to come and photograph.

\nHer practice then takes on the rhythm of the field. Like some people do push-ups and pull-ups, Marine Peixoto did an intensive photo shoot. "Pushing" every day is sculpting yourself, like investing in a work of art. The routine, the repetition of training and the cycle of the seasons have tested her determination to "occupy the present" and have forced her to constantly renew her point of view on the same subject. This experience of exhaustion of a place and a look is an act of tireless faith in the other and in oneself.
