J’ai la chance de pouvoir empreinter un moyen format Hasselblad 6x6 (500C/M), et j’en ai donc profité pour réaliser quelques clichés de temps à autres dont voici un petit extrait.

On February 19th, 1967, a district is inaugurated to Vitry: the district Balzac. These 923 apartments, in new bars of buildings, come to answer the striking needs of housing when we still find shanty towns in suburb of Paris. Symbol of Glorious Thirty triumphant, the district Balzac aged. Forty years later, the district is considered dilapidated, suffers from a bad image and shows a record unemployment rate in the department. The restructuring is on the march. A first tower, the building ABC, collapsed on February 14th, 2007. Tomorrow, continuation of the alphabet with the demolition of the tower DEF, which has to collapse at 1 pm. Near half a century of history which will faint in dust. Anas Touil moved into the district in the 1960s. ” In this period, it was new. I lived in Paris in a two-room apartment ; there, I was able to move into a four-room apartment. ” Today pensioned off, the octogenarian saw the district being transformed into forty years. ” The district changed 100 %, he exclaims. There were some problems before, bullshit, but, for some time, it is quiet. ” As if construction sites opened in the district had reassured the district classified in sensitive urban zone. Four months ago, Anas moved in a small building of the district. Up to there, he lived in the tower DEF, the one who must be reduced to the state of rubbles. But he does not feel particular sadness at the idea of seeing his ancient tower collapsing. ” It is the life, it blows with philosophy. The people live then die, it is the similar with buildings. ” A little farther, a man sits in the grass, in front of the fleshless tower. He contemplates the funny entertainment of the building cleared of his facade and which lets appear the inside of apartments. ” I lived since 1967 in the district. I have never had problems here. I had several cars, I have never had one of it of broken. The bad image of the district, it is because of the media. ” This retired man prefers to underline the mutual aid which exists in the district: ” there are ten persons who live on my landing. Sometimes, during the holidays, I had nine keys to be guarded at home. ” Tomorrow, the district Balzac will never have the same face. ” That is going to make a disorientation, it is sure ” slide the old man with a touch of nostalgia in the voice.
