Fabrica at Pompidou. Going to Paris. Day 4.

Fabrica at Pompidou. Going to Paris. Day 4.

Here at Farbica we often have visitors of different kinds: journalists, experts in communications, parents, courious people. The tour is pretty much always the same: people walk into the nice building and check out the stuff we make here, going through the different departments. One thing that usually happens is that they go to the photography department and it’s almost a desert. There might be one or two photographers around, hardly more. This because they work in the real word, where things happen. So for FABRICA: Les Yeux Ouverts at the Pompidou Centre, they have left the building a while ago to work on their project, and they travelled all over the world.
The six individual projects create a single collective report of the ongoing changes in the world: I SEE.

The Middle Distance, by Olivia Arthur, examins the different attitudes towards women in the cultural cross-over between East and West by looking at young women in the countries that straddle the border of Europe and Asia, at what they hope for in life and at the pressures and expectations put on them by their societies that may restrict it. The pictures tell the stories of women from the trans-continental eurasian countries and investigate the ways in which societies show respect for women as the centre of the cultural and religious fight between modernisation and tradition, between a simple respect for women's dignity and the one for their freedom of choosing their own lives.
