Les baraques de Mougins Iris Millot

Blending agricultural history with that of the Women’s Liberation Movement (MLF), Iris Millot, born in 2000 and living and working in Arles, explores both intimate and social strata with tenderness and humor. Her universe seduced the jury of the Dior Prize for Photography and Visual Arts for Young Talents, initiated by Christian Dior Parfums and run in partnership with LUMA Arles and the National School of Photography (ENSP) Arles.

Hosting organization: Accueil de loisirs Rebuffel de Mougins
The project: Gathering clues, collecting traces and constructing narratives around the relationships between human beings and their environment. With the material she gleans, Iris Millot puts into tension notions of habitability, transmission and anchoring in more common histories. Following on from her photographic work, Iris Millot initiated a field survey with children from the Mougins leisure center, in search of traces of past history that are still visible. During the two-week residency, the photographer intends to create a collective diary tracing the history of an area through a series of interviews and immersion in the municipal archives.
