Marseille / Éclatés

Marseille / Éclatés – 12 images of the city and 11 testimonials to the transformations taking place in the Phocaean city.
Marseille the rebel! Marseille the alternative! It’s the sound of music on the rise: the city is attracting more and more people and enjoying a new lease of life. The cultural effervescence of the heart of this singular metropolis seems to occur at the same time, perhaps even in a form of
reciprocity, with profound urban transformations. The genealogy and manifestations of these phenomena challenge local players.
But the real story lies elsewhere: in Marseilles, these transformations are feeding and recomposing a whole range of imaginary worlds, some of them even
myths, whose narrative power often exceeds their power to act. That’s what we’re looking for: a dialogue between the permanence of stories and the emergence of new images.
