Biennale de la Photographie de Mulhouse

The exhibition venue is located in what is commonly called a skyscraper: the Tour de l’Europe in Mulhouse. This 1970s apartment belongs to a couple of collectors. It features a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen where only a portion of the backsplash remains. Everything else is empty. Yet, stories occupy the space. Bruissements (Murmurs) uses this location as a starting point to reflect on domestic space, the bonds woven within it, and to gather narratives like sediments of the intimate.

For a year, Ulf Lundin (Sweden) spied on a young family using a telephoto lens, drawing us into their privacy while exposing the specificities of this social unit. Meanwhile, François Jonquet (France) recounts his own family life from the inside out across the years—a journey beautiful in its ordinariness. Margot Wallard (France) speaks of transgenerational stories, delving into her grandmother’s life in Algeria, which so deeply infuses her own that it drove her to retrace those steps in Oran. A Ukrainian exile in Finland, Katya Lesiv (Ukraine) evokes the thwarted desire to return, to "come home"—akin to returning to oneself when circumstances, such as war, stand in the way. Eleonora Calvelli draws us into the mysteries of televised intimacy, that of reality shows, where bodies hide and reveal themselves under the immodest lens of the cameras. Natalie Malisse tells the story of quite a different house: that of her childhood, marked by abuse. This echoes the work of Rebecca Bowring, for whom the domestic space became, for a time, a place of confinement.

Through diverse approaches—at times documentary, at times conceptual—these seven projects explore the connections shaped by the domestic, understood as a space of intimacy. Space as an enclosure, the circumference of a set of human relations generally related to the family structure, with its affections and traumas, its violences and its solidarities.

The opening will take place on Saturday 6th June at 10am
The exhibition will remain open till the 5th July.
