In 1983, the town of Carros, emblematic of the urban planning policies of the 1960s and 1980s, became the site of a unique photographic investigation.
Commissioned by Maisons Phénix, Jean Dieuzaide, Bernard Gille, Guy Le Querrec, Sabone Weiss, and Jacques Windenberger captured the social and architectural essence of this "new city."
Forgotten, these images were rediscovered in 2023 after their acquisition by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and their presentation in the exhibition "La maison pour tous. Une photographie sociale des années 1980."
In 2025, the CIAC de Carros extended this exploration with an exhibition combining this collection with works from creative residencies by contemporary artists Hélène Bellenger, Jürgen Nefzger, and Eloïse Baille, as well as photographs from its collection by Suzanne Hetzel, establishing a dialogue between memory and creation. This initiative makes Carros a living example of the interactions between art, urban planning, and collective history, while paying tribute to the vitality of its inhabitants.
