Par Clare Arni<\/h1>\n\n
Du 22 f\u00e9v. au 14 mars 2020<\/p><\/h2>\n\n

Du 22 f\u00e9vrier au 14 mars, le Centre d\u2019Art Citadines pr\u00e9sentera deux importantes s\u00e9ries de travaux de la photographe d\u2019origine anglaise install\u00e9e \u00e0 Bangalore, Clare Arni.<\/p>\n\n
Clare, qui a laiss\u00e9 son pays natal \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de six ans, a v\u00e9cu la majeure partie de sa vie en Inde. Photographe d\u2019architecture au d\u00e9but de sa carri\u00e8re, elle se tourne ensuite vers le reportage, s\u2019int\u00e9ressant \u00e0 des th\u00e8mes sociaux et documentant l\u2019h\u00e9ritage culturel de l\u2019Inde avec des projets de longue haleine d\u00e9clin\u00e9s en collaborations internationales avec des revues, publications de livres, expositions \u00e0 travers le monde.<\/p>\n\n
Les travaux pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s ici, \u00ab A peoples history of water \u00bb et \u00ab Disappearing professions in urban India \u00bb t\u00e9moignent des dramatiques r\u00e9alit\u00e9s affront\u00e9es aujourd\u2019hui par l\u2019Inde aux prises avec des bouleversements sociaux-culturels et climatiques aux cons\u00e9quences aussi rapides qu\u2019in\u00e9luctables.<\/p>\n\n
\u00ab Disappearing professions in urban India \u00bb, un projet n\u00e9 en 2006 et r\u00e9alis\u00e9 sur trois ans avec la collaboration de l\u2019\u00e9crivain Oriole Henry est une enqu\u00eate men\u00e9e principalement a Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai et Bangalore.<\/p>\n\n
Dans ces m\u00e9tropoles, c\u2019est tout un mode de vie qui est menac\u00e9 par la disparition des m\u00e9tiers traditionnels engloutis par la naissante r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9e par une urbanisation galopante et l\u2019apparition des nouvelles technologies. Les \u00e9choppes artisanales sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es sont, \u00e0 plus ou moins long terme, condamn\u00e9es face aux grandes chaines commerciales, et avec elles, un savoir qui se transmettait d\u2019une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration \u00e0 l\u2019 autre. Avec l\u2019apparition d\u2019un nouveau genre de consommation standardis\u00e9e, ce n\u2019est pas seulement la survie de toute une partie de la population qui est en jeu, mais aussi l\u2019immense richesse et la vari\u00e9t\u00e9 qui composent le tissu culturel de l\u2019Inde.<\/p>\n\n
Clare a rencontr\u00e9 les artisans dans leur lieu de travail, elle a photographi\u00e9 des potiers, des teinturiers, des vendeurs de th\u00e9. Certains regardent l\u2019appareil, d\u2019autres sont concentr\u00e9s sur leur ouvrage, d\u2019autres encore on ne voit que la main, parfois m\u00eame ils n\u2019apparaissent pas, mais la boutique est satur\u00e9e de leur pr\u00e9sence comme un v\u00eatement qu\u2019on vient d\u2019enlever. Chaque espace est fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 par des ann\u00e9es d\u2019habitudes, de gestes r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9s, de relations humaines.<\/p>\n\n
Sur une de ces images, nous sommes chez un marchand de miroirs. L\u2019homme se tient de profil dans son magasin minuscule. Au dessus de sa t\u00eate, une horloge pendue donne l\u2019heure : il est une heure 27. Le soleil de l\u2019apr\u00e8s midi illumine sur les murs les miroirs o\u00f9 se refl\u00e8tent des angles cach\u00e9s de la boutique et de la rue. Dans l\u2019un de ces miroirs apparaissent deux silhouettes en contre jour- des clients sans doute -ndistinctes comme les t\u00e9moins fant\u00f4mes d\u2019une histoire qui s\u2019efface.<\/p>\n\n
La seconde s\u00e9rie, \u00ab\u00a0a peoples history of water\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0 rassemble des images prises durant trente ans de reportages sur diff\u00e9rents projets\u00a0:<\/p>
\n
Kaveri River<\/em>\u00a0(1994), quatre mois pendant lesquels Clare a remont\u00e9 le fleuve pour photographier les diverses populations vivant sur ses berges.<\/p>
\n
Dreams and Discontents<\/em>\u00a0(2002) centr\u00e9 sur les probl\u00e8mes d\u2019approvisionnement hydriques dans une m\u00e9tropole \u00e0 l\u2019expansion inarr\u00eatable, Bangalore.<\/p>
\n
Maha Kumbh Mela<\/em>\u00a0(2013), d\u00e9di\u00e9 \u00e0 la vie d\u00e9votionnelle le long des rives du Gange.<\/p>
\n
Sundarbans,\u00a0<\/em>une enqu\u00eate sur les difficiles conditions de vie dans une r\u00e9gion soumise aux in\u00e9vitables probl\u00e8mes du r\u00e9chauffement climatique.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
L\u2019eau comme source de vie, inspiratrice de rituels sacr\u00e9s, l\u2019eau dont le manque, en ces temps de r\u00e9chauffement global terrifie l\u2019humanit\u00e9 mise en face d\u2019une possible absence de futur, est pr\u00e9sente dans toutes ses incarnations dans les photos de Clare, dont une est particuli\u00e8rement embl\u00e9matique :
\nC\u2019est l\u2019image d\u2019une rue, vue de haut et divis\u00e9e en deux par un mur ; d\u2019un c\u00f4t\u00e9 du mur, des trottoirs d\u00e9fonc\u00e9s, des toits de t\u00f4le ondul\u00e9e, et les habitants de la pauvret\u00e9, un homme assis au milieu de calebasses, une femme qui remonte la rue avec une cruche que l\u2019on imagine pleine, de l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, des enfants jouent dans une piscine dont l\u2019eau, ce merveilleux \u00e9l\u00e9ment donn\u00e9 en partage a l\u2019humanit\u00e9, scintille sous le soleil \u00e0 pic, comme le miroir empoisonn\u00e9 o\u00f9 se refl\u00e9terait une humanit\u00e9 d\u00e9chue.<\/p>\n\n
