Exhibition and distribution of postcards. This creation of photographic stagings done in studio lights, was created around the theme of the collective self-portrait. This project was initiated by Elisabeth Paget and Julie Le Sergent, Spanish and Visuel arts teachers. The artistic production was conceived by more than eighty teenagers from the 8th grade classes at the Robert Morel Middle School in Arles.  Throughout the year, they developed preparatory studies and Spanish texts, as well as their props, costumes, hairstyles, and makeup to create a scenographic setting under the supervision and direction of artist Mireille Loup.

This project is supported by the Ministry of Culture, as part of the Pass Culture artistic initiative.

The management of fresh, salt, or brackish waters, achieved since the 19th century, is disrupted by climate changes that are drying out the delta's soil. Rainfall is decreasing, the flow of the Rhône is declining, and salty soils require human activities to adapt and reinvent themselves in order to endure.

The partners of the exhibition include: La Compagnie des Salins du Midi, the LUMA Foundation, the Museon Arlaten, the Department of Bouches-du-Rhône, the Institut Agro Montpellier UMR G-Eau2, the National Institute of Archaeological Research, the National Archives, Simon Porte Jacquemus, and the Marius Fabre soap factories.
