In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, two cousins, Noah (18) and Clémence Bernard (20), decided to capture the moments of life turned upside down in the streets of Seraing. Small moments of everyday life, sometimes prevented by the virus, compiled in a book entitled “Traces of our time – Seraing during the pandemic”, designed to “keep a trace of the lives of their fellow citizens”.

Shots which, from August 10, will be the subject of an international exhibition, which will begin in Canada.
Indeed, it’s a wonderful career start for the two young artists who will show their work across the country, starting with the House of La Francophonie, in Ottawa. The International Youth Bureau wished to support the initiative, by offering plane tickets to Clémence and Noah.
Then, the exhibition will travel around the world, settling in China, Senegal, or even the Congo. What appealed to these countries? According to the artists, the humanity in the shots, “the emotion in the image, the life that has taken over the deadly chaos that was the pandemic”.
The loving couple
Among these shots, one of them particularly caught the eye of the exhibitors, that of the “Lovers of Seraing”. “A kind of magical moment in a moment of extreme health tension” which shows all the spontaneous character of the photographer cousins. The latter have also decided to start looking for these two lovers wandering, hand in hand, in the streets of the city, and who, perhaps, still rub shoulders, to offer them the enlarged photo.
A kind of manhunt among more than 40,000 Seresians. So, if you know these people, do not hesitate to send an email to the editorial staff at [email protected] or comment on this article. The artists will be delighted to find this couple, at the origin of their world exhibition.
