Ecrin
With the Société Métallurgique de Normandie (SMN), the Colombelles plateau is inhabited by three types of social classes confined to three types of housing: workers' habitats, foremen’s houses and villas. Yet, by the darkness of the night the noticible social differences on the façades disappear only in part. In fact, when the windows start to light up, the different architectures are no longer obvious but the window frame is always identifiable. Indeed, even in the finest detail can these social differences be revealed. In addition, the Colombelles plateau was built for families where one or several members worked at the SMN which resulted in surveillance and voyeurism. Thus, while observing the course of life being lead during nighttime in these households, I wanted to transcribe this indiscretion, while respecting their intimacy.
