How can our smartphone, or rather the traces we leave on it, give rise to a form of self-writing? This is the premise of this collaborative creation and its rules of play, which consist in considering one's smartphone as the repository of a host of actions and relationships that cross all spheres of our lives, from the most intimate to the most administrative.

Portraits mobiles is a collaborative creation with young people aged 16 to 25. It is organized around five workshops of three hours over five days, culminating in an exhibition of short films made by the young participants themselves.
The aim is to create a gallery of video self-portraits of today's youth, a project that explores their representation of the world and their place in public space through the prism of digital technology. Through a process of smartphone archaeology, we invite young participants to search for materials that tell their stories: content they have posted, content they have viewed on the Internet, social networks, and apps, as well as their navigation history. They will then capture video elements before scripting and editing them to create a three-minute self-portrait in which each person recognizes themselves and embraces how they present themselves to the world.
The project culminates in an exhibition open to all, which can be held in public spaces, both indoors and outdoors, for up to three weeks.
The 20 self-portraits, displayed on totem panels, are accessible to visitors via QR codes. The portrait then launches on the visitor's smartphone, giving the impression that each device has been taken over by the person featured in the video. The idea is to offer an initial experience of the merging of digital and physical spaces, as well as the blurring of their uses.
The project is divided into a one-week workshop and a final exhibition. The technical specifications correspond to those of the exhibition.
