Realised by Xavier Popy, photographer, this exhibition(exposure) highlights the tidal factory of Rancid as well as other production sites or industrial museums supported by the group EDF: the nuclear power plant of Chinon, the Electropolis museum of Mulhouse, the hydroelectrical power plant of Kembs, the hydroelectrical power plant of Bazacle in Toulouse, or else the EDF museum Hydrélec in Isère.
The eye and the sensitivity(sensibility) of the photographer sublimate the aestheticism of these emblematic or atypical sites of the industrial heritage of EDF. The artist seizes the part of beauty, of poetry and of sensational which escapes the industrial rationality of these factories or objects, more often looked under a functional angle. Across this exhibition(exposure), EDF invites the public in a dialogue between art, history(story) and industry, and to discover these patrimonial places which tell, in their own way, the fabulous history(story) of electricity
