The exhibition “Soupçonne moi du meilleur” at La Mûre in Marseille, is part of a collaborative photographic process where photography, adolescence, and memory intersect and confront one another.         This project brought together students from the advanced photography program at CEPV in Vevey, along with students from the Louis Pasteur school in Marseille and their teacher, Gwendoline Anglade.             Under the direction of photographer Anne Golaz, graphic designer Alexandra Ruiz, and Chloé Cardinaux, the exhibition embodies a creative process where the meeting of two distinct worlds—the youth of Marseille and the photography students— gives rise to a collective reflection on adolescence,                      and its multiple facets.
The approach behind this exhibition goes beyond simply capturing images; it is part of a process of encounter, sharing, and co-creation.

 The Collective Exhibition

The realization of "Soupçonne-moi du meilleur" is based on the principle of a collective exhibition. This format involves a group dynamic in which each participant brings their own vision, questions, and answers. The photographers symbolically revisit their own teenage years, diving back into the period of 14-15 years old to extract a memory, an emotion, or a personal representation. This work of memory was then enriched by exchanges with the high school students from Marseille, who also shared their perceptions and experiences of adolescence. By immersing themselves in the world of middle schoolers, they allowed the issues characteristic of this age to emerge.






However, far from being a mere juxtaposition of individual works, this exhibition was constructed as a common body formed from multiple perceptions of the same subject treated from various angles. Each participant's work fits into a cohesive whole, where individualities merge to create a collective piece. The role of graphic designer Alexandra Ruiz and the organizers, such as Gwendoline Anglade, was crucial in this process. Their expertise helped coordinate and structure the visual ideas in a way that allowed them to flow effectively, while respecting the diversity of contributions. The challenge was to give each image its place in the exhibition without ever losing sight of the collective and shared dimension of the project. The exhibition thus becomes a space of experimentation where creative tensions blend and transform into a coherent visual language.
