The Photomobile Elysée has come to an end!

Dive into the workshops offered by the Photomobile Elysée by discovering the articles on our online journal (in French only).

"During its relocation phase, Photo Elysée explores the canton of Vaud with its Photomobile, a van that crisscrosses the roads and offers fun workshops and discovery of the world of photography to schools and specialized institutions.

"On the board, one of the two mediators draws around the image as indicated by the participants. 'Sometimes they imagine a plane or rain! We don't restrict them. So much the better if they suggest something crazy! We try to get them to question what is coherent, but there is no right or wrong answer.'"

What do the students participating in the Photomobile Elysée's "Lumière et Trichromie" workshop discover? "They will now learn how 19th century scientists unlocked the mystery of color and applied it to photography. The guessing game continues. When was the first color photograph taken? The categorical - and surprising - answer from the participants: '1990!' When told that it was much earlier, they offer: 'In 1500!' The correct answer is somewhere in between... in 1861.'"

"How many times a day does a teenager take pictures of themselves with his smartphone? How do they present themselves on social networks and what relationship do they have with their image on the Internet?" Created by the Fotomuseum Winterthur and offered by the Photomobile Elysée, the workshop "Mes identités numériques", explores these themes with students aged 12 to 15. It aims to develop a critical reflection on the photographic images we produce on a daily basis and on our rights when we post them on applications.
