“We women don’t go down to the bottom like men. We work instead. The place is a huge room where we spend 8 hours a day. The coal comes up from the mine on conveyor belts, it’s the canvas. Our role is to remove the stones and put them in boxes... We have to go very fast, because the carpets do not stop.” A woman instead: but instead of what? Would the woman be perceived as an object? This show is inspired by the moving testimonies of former mine pit placers around La Grand'Combe. Although often overlooked, women’s work at the mine was a significant part of coal mining.
