CONVIVO


FR //
Du latin cum et vivo : « vivre ensemble »
Un livre, oui. Mais surtout une invitation à entrer au cœur de la communauté de La Poudrière. Ce projet photographique dévoile un lieu où la solidarité prend le pas sur la compétition, où les fragilités de chacun se transforment en forces partagées. L’image n’est pas seulement un regard, elle est une rencontre. Elle ouvre une fenêtre sur ce que vivre en communauté signifie. Un récit visuel qui interroge notre époque en quête de sens.

Frédéric Servais, photographe originaire de Charleroi. Depuis près de quinze ans, il développe un travail centré sur le réel et le contact humain. Coiffeur de métier, il affine son regard au fil des rencontres. Ses années au sein de l’atelier Contrast lui ont permis d’exposer régulièrement et d’exprimer sa vision à la fois sobre et spontanée.


ENG//
From the Latin cum and vivo: ‘living together’
A book, yes. But above all, an invitation to step into the heart of the La Poudrière community. This photographic project reveals a place where solidarity takes precedence over competition, where each person’s vulnerabilities are transformed into shared strengths. The image is not merely a glance; it is an encounter. It opens a window onto what living in community means. A visual narrative that questions our era in search of meaning.

Frédéric Servais, photographer from Charleroi. For nearly fifteen years, he has been developing a body of work centred on reality and human connection. A hairdresser by trade, he refines his vision through his encounters. His years at the Contrast studio have enabled him to exhibit regularly and to express his vision, which is both understated and spontaneous.

LOS SELKNAM


The Selk’nam are an Indigenous people originating from the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, long said to have vanished following the devastating acts of colonization. Today, their descendants are reclaiming recognition for their existence and their culture.
They practiced a foundational ritual known as the "Ceremonia del Hain", represented here through drawings treated as imprints or as archives etched in time.

This project began three years ago when I first discovered the history of the Selk'nam people. As I delved into their past, I was quickly confronted with a certain reality: the representation of their culture is often reduced to a shallow aesthetic, nearly stripped of its depth and largely forgotten.

As a Northern European, I had to read, research, document, decipher, and attempt to translate in order to lift a corner of the mystical veil surrounding them. They had a territory; they hunted and gathered; they had their dead whom they buried; they were alive. We have lost most of these traces. What remains today of a people whose tradition was primarily oral?

Through this work, I have sought to express a sense of humanity by capturing some of their gestures, allowing myself for a brief moment to "play" the archivist of a Selk’nam memory—while respecting the secret that was so vital to them, and has now become so to me.
