About the exhibition

When we hear “autism”, we first think of the child or adolescent. However, many adults are diagnosed late as having autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and it is them that the documentary photographer Noémie Lecampion has chosen to highlight today.

The exhibition On the tip of the toes thus shows the reality of these invisible disabilitiesat

through the daily lives of adults aged 20 to 60. This series

photographic work, the fruit of patient work over several years, underlinesthe singularity of the journeyswhile bringing out a common discourse.

The photographs are frontal, without seeking to stage, to

better allow us to enter into the intimacy of the subjects photographed. For

to allow such proximity, Noémie Lecampion used a film photographic process,

far from the flashy immediacy of social networks, and left to

everyone the possibility of choosing the moment of visual capture thanks to

a trigger bulb. Thus, the subjects photographed are

masters of their image, as if to better affirm their existence and

decide how we look at them, without artifice, far from

clichés and labels that many still tend to attach to them.

In France, it is estimated that 700,000 people are affected by

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but a large number

of individuals remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and must deal with this

which constitutes an everyday handicap, still too often an object

mockery or incomprehension.

The exhibition On tiptoe sheds light on

this reality to challenge preconceived ideas, and celebrates wealth

of our differences with as much sincerity as poetry in

interweaving portraits and testimonies.
