A few months ago, during my first visit to DAÏMÔN, I was struck by the diversity of people I met around La Filature. Since my perception of the old Hull is totally new, I intend to use this fresh eye to meet the different members of the community. Through a photographic and sound project, I aim to collect the history that the community have with Hull. This project will be dedicated to conveying the essence of each person I meet, in images and sounds.

I will work with the Mamiya RZ67 camera from DAÏMÔN in order to explore a 120mm Black and White film that I have never used before. I am particularly interested in this film because of its format, which is very well adapted to portrait photography. I will develop the films in DAÏMÔN's darkroom before making paper prints. In the idea of a harmony of intimacy in resonance with the portraits, I will create a soundtrack bringing together the voices of those I photograph and the sound atmosphere of old Hull.

I am convinced that a powerful work as well as a very strong human and artistic experience will result from this creative residency.
