La couleur de la bouée is an exhibition resulting from research five years in the town of Tonnerre (Yonne) by documentary photographer documentary photographer Jean-Robert Dantou as part of a doctorate in Sciences Arts Creation Research. The exhibition presents photographs and texts describing the mechanisms the forced arrival of vulnerable people in a small rural town. The exhibition focuses in particular on a structure that provides accommodation and support for people described as suffering from psychological problems, and is structured around one main scientific question question: What does it mean for people in precarious situations to be to be moved to a small town of which they were previously unaware? they didn’t even know existed?
