Franck Pourcel
Football is a sport that is universally embraced. It is also a powerful tool for integration. These two words, universality and integration, are also values upheld by the Olympic movement.
As part of the cultural Olympiads of the 2024 Olympics, Franck Pourcel will photograph the football sessions of MUST, a multi-sport LGBTQIA+ association whose aim is to allow its members to engage in sports in a friendly and discrimination-free environment. This photographic work aims to weave a collective story from individual diversities, without condescension or pity. Beyond sports photography, his focus is on the movements of bodies, the pleasures of the game, and moments of joy in being together.
Franck Pourcel will offer an insight into his photographic work, particularly focusing on the process he is developing with the members of the MUST association. Blending documentary with the poetry of everyday life, the artist photographer Franck Pourcel strives to capture a globalized world while paying special attention to the lifestyles and resistance of individuals."
