Between 2010 and 2013, Mathieu Pernot and historian Philippe Artières have been invited to perform work on the archives of the Psychiatric Hospital Le Bon Sauveur, located in Picauville (Manche), which resulted in an exhibition and a publication. Pernot produced photographs of the location, while Artières related the pair’s experiences through a series of written pieces. This work, assembled, designed, selected, is a kind of history of photography, seen from the hospital, instead of living in specific times and not a banal, a non-marginal history, but at the margin, a kind of asylum photographs.
