In Noisy-le-Grand, a suburban city near Paris, 60 000 m2 of office space and 800 apartments will soon spring up as a part of the \u00ab Grand Paris \u00bb<\/em> project (an urban transformation project aimed to develop several areas around Paris).
\nWithin the area concerned, Noisy Residence<\/em>, a hostel serving as emergency housing for 600 people, where large families \u2013 sometimes of more than 10 people – are packed into one room, is soon to be demolished.      <\/span><\/p>\n

A resident tells me : \u00ab Noisy-le-Grand will be included in the <\/em>\u00ab Grand Paris \u00bb and here, everything will be demolished. What are they gonna do with the people living there ? Well, they are gonna move them further away\u2026 \u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To photograph Noisy Residence<\/em>, a condamned and invisible place where visitors are forbidden, is to resign oneself to see from the outside only, and to imagine \u2013 by talking to its residents –   how life takes place within.  <\/span><\/p>\n
