Description
Silver Lining presents the work of the Franco-Brazilian artist Nicolas Lebeau, based on research into the closure of the Kodak factory in Chalon-sur-Saône and the social and economic changes it brought about.
Drawing on this history, Nicolas Lebeau explores the physical traces left behind by the factory’s closure. His work is based on a substantial body of archive material from the collections of the Cercle des Conservateurs de l’Image Latente (CECIL), which holds the industrial and commercial archives of Kodak France, supplemented by photographs taken at the former production sites and in the landscapes shaped by this deindustrialisation.
