In collaboration with La Capsule since the beginning of 2021, Bruno Boudjelal has been taking up a residency in Le Bourget and neighbouring towns. His photographic work will be accompanied by super-8 films, sound recordings and a written diary. Following in the footsteps of his cousin Jacques, an original inhabitant of Le Bourget, an inveterate surveyor and passionate photographer who died in 1995 and whose images have all disappeared, Bruno Boudjelal is paying tribute to him.
So I decided to launch a new project called ‘Mon histoire est ici’ (‘My story is here’). It’s going to be set in Seine-Saint-Denis, which up until now has been the only place I’ve lived, and I’m going to work on the different places where I’ve lived and lived. Le Cousin Jacques is the first chapter in this work.
