CLICKS AND CLASSES

SEEING THE INVISIBLE

“Clicks and Classes” is a national program run by Réseau Canopé, mandated by the Ministry of National Education, to raise young people’s awareness of photography. Every year, classes on every school level carry out a creative project alongside a photographer. A selection of their work is exhibited at the Rencontres de la photographie before traveling across France in the Ateliers Canopé.

Seeing the invisible, showing the invisible: the 2018-2019 theme

How can something be shown that cannot be seen because it has no physical existence, like a philosophical concept, an idea, a feeling? Participants are prompted to think about how photography depicts reality and how to show what normally cannot be represented.
Based on the theme "Seeing the invisible, showing the invisible", 14 groups bringing together 19 classes from primary to high school worked alongside a photographer from October to March to show things like borders, passing time, fear, the archeological past, dreams, the invisible in the landscape, language, etc.
