First exhibited in Brussels, this long-term work is presented from April 18 to May 2 at Galerie VU’ in Paris. The eponymous book, published by Gallimard and prefaced by Cynthia Fleury, accompanies the exhibition.

For more than six years, Marin Driguez walked the corridors and rooms of Brussels hospitals, a discreet witness to a world where suffering, expectation and dedication are intertwined. Through his lens, he captures the repeated gestures of the carers, the tiredness of endless shifts, the silences that are heavy with meaning, and the looks where worry and hope meet. This immersion gave rise to a reflection: what place do we give to care? What remains of public service in the face of exhaustion? Who are the men and women who look after, reassure and repair? And how, in the face of illness and death, do we constantly redefine the meaning of life?

A chapter devoted to psychiatry, awarded the ANI-PixTrakk Prize at Visa pour l’Image in 2024, will be presented as part of the exhibition.
