INTRODUCTION

As you browse through these digitized slides, the older among us will surely remember those gatherings with family or friends around a projector, where each click of the mechanism marked the passage from one memory to the next, set to the steady hum of the halogen lamp.

For the younger generations, this is an opportunity to discover a different way of taking photographs where a single shot was the rule for capturing a moment.

In the end, these gathered images compose a series of fragments from everyday life: portraits, family gatherings, vacations, and fleeting moments. These anonymous photographs join together to offer a collective look at the French experience between the years 1950 and 1989.
