two neighborhoods
Banners, panels and big collages: La Capsulerie and La Noue, two neighboring areas that rarely come together.
Each of them chose their photos and gave them a title and a few words: the rond, the cube, the Caps basketball hoop, the piques of La Noue, the yellow tower, the lobby of building 7. “What you are going to see in this show is the way we wanted to present our neighborhoods to you, the way we see them!” The exhibition went up in both neighborhoods: on the fences of the Capsulerie, along the walkways of La Noue and as large collages on the pillars.
Banners on the fences of the Capsulerie, panels along the walkways of La Noue, collages on the concrete pillars: the images went back first to the people who live there.

le centre la faf
The Fosse aux Fraises is a neighborhood center for young people. There are activities, outings, games and so on. I took this photo to introduce the center.

Superpower! Superhero! Color! Framing! It's great!

que du love !
Us on the court. I chose it because I really love the color and the feeling we give off.
le parc du 9;3
I took this photo because I think the view is beautiful. It's the park of La Noue. A really big park for picnics or water fights.

une vue vraiment !
I took this photo because my building is in it and I like the difference between the buildings. This is Sesto, it's like the Caps but a bit smaller.
en bas de chez moi
I chose this photo because I like the feeling the girls give off. I also like the background with the tower. The photographer's framing (mine) is magnificent!

le panier
You can see the hoop of the Caps basketball court. I like this photo with the hoop in the foreground and the tower behind, with orange that echoes the color of the hoop.
vol petit papillon
“Miraculous Ladybug.” I took this photo because I like the difference between the blue and the red. Here, they are called the wings of the “ice of fire” butterfly.

le rond
The rond is a place where we often meet, for parties organized by the town or just to hang out with friends. Our center is right next to it. I took this photo to show this important place in the neighborhood.
le cube
I took this photo to show this place because not many people go there and I don't know why. And yet it's beautiful, with the graffiti on the cube.

le royaume des piques
At the piques, we pass by, we hang out and we play. I chose this photo because it's an iconic place in La Noue.
depuis les piques
View of building 7 from the piques. In the foreground you see a pique, and the building behind it. I like the layering of the elements.

l’éclipse
The building hides the sun to make an eclipse. I like this photo because it represents the solar system.
clair-obscur
You see building 1 of La Noue between shadow and light. I think the photo is stylish because of the play of light, from the sky down to the front of the building.

le bâtiment le plus chaud au monde
The hottest building in the world, with a temperature of 2,500 degrees.
la tour jaune
The 30-story tower is the tallest tower in the world. It is about 70 meters high.

la nature au quartier
In the foreground you see the magic yellow flower with a bee. Behind it, you see building 2.
la pollution
People still throw away trash and that risks pollution.

la cité de la noue
At Toffo, there are only good-looking kids. That's us, the artists' group.
miroirs
A crazy reflection in the lobby of building 7. I like this photo for the effects you can see and because it's in the lobby of my building.
the paste-up
The large collage of the exhibition mixes the images of both groups: the towers, the murals, the courts and the faces of the Capsulerie and La Noue.
“We picked photos, then added captions, explanations and titles so that you would understand them.”
“We also explained our choices so that you would get us.”
“We did this workshop with the Fosse and Toffo centers, and we mixed together.”
