In my previous post, you read the behind-the-scenes story of my Life in a Morning photography project and exhibition. Now is the time to take you on the promised virtual tour!

Dans mon article précédent, vous avez lu l’histoire derrière mon projet et l’exposition La vie en un matin. C’est maintenant le temps d’en faire le tour virtuel!

Part 1 of 12

The bilingual Life in a Morning exhibition presents 104 black and white photographs with written blurbs about the morning routine of 12 girls and women aged 0 to 102 years old. It shows the differences and similarities between the routine of each person depending on their age, status and occupation. It’s a representation of how life evolves in a morning and how certain habits remain throughout life.

I wrote each blurb in the name of the person I photographed to put the images in context and add something to the story. The blurbs are inspired by what I learned and witnessed before, during and after each two-hour photo session.

Partie 1 de 12

L’exposition bilingue La vie en un matin présente 104 photographies en noir et blanc accompagnées de textes descriptifs à propos de la routine matinale de 12 filles et femmes âgées de 0 à 102 ans. On y découvre les différences et les ressemblances entre la routine de chaque personne selon son âge, sa situation familiale et son emploi du temps. On voit comment la vie évolue en un matin et comment certaines habitudes demeurent tout au long de l’existence.

J’ai écrit chaque texte au nom de la personne que j’ai photographiée pour mettre les images en contexte et ajouter quelque chose à l’histoire. Les textes sont inspirés de ce que j’ai appris et ce dont j’ai été témoin avant, pendant et après chaque séance photo de deux heures.

I was born fifteen days ago. Helpless, fragile, with everything to learn. I wake up in the morning to the loving gaze of my mother—the first person I’ve ever been close to and the one I depend on the most. She’s an amazing caregiver and multitasker. I also have a big sister who seems to think I’m a living doll and loves me more than I could ask for!

Je suis née il y a quinze jours. Vulnérable, fragile, avec tout à apprendre. Je me réveille le matin sous le regard adorateur de ma mère, la première personne de qui j’ai été proche et celle de qui je dépends le plus. Elle sait prendre soin de moi et peut faire plein de choses en même temps. J’ai aussi une grande sœur qui semble croire que je suis une poupée vivante et qui m’aime plus que je ne pourrais l’espérer!
