7 - 30 November 2008

This two-part exhibition is presented at the Pavillon de la Maison des Métallos and at the Bar Floréal gallery. Almost 30 years after André Lejarre and Alex Jordan's reportage work during the strikes and demonstrations against the closure of steelworks in the Longwy Basin, all the photographers of the Bar Floréal group have accompanied them on their return to the Lorraine region. The exhibition reflects where things stand today and examines the social, economic and cultural transformations taking place in France and Europe.

Photographs by: Jean-Christophe Bardot, Bernard Baudin, Sophie Carlier, Éric Facon, Marc Gibert, Alex Jordan, André Lejarre, Olivier Pasquiers, Caroline Pottier and Nicolas Quinette.

Curated by Françoise Denoyelle
