Train traveller? Meet ITER

Anyone arriving at or leaving from the Aix-en-Provence high-speed train station this month is liable to learn a little about the ITER project, as there is hardly a waiting area or walkway that does not display large-format photographs of the work underway on the ITER site.

More than 3 million people travel annually through the Aix-en-Provence high-speed (TGV) train station. This month, they can learn a little about the ITER project through dozens of high-quality photographs that are displayed on walls, walkways and in waiting areas. (Click to view larger version...)
More than 3 million people travel annually through the Aix-en-Provence high-speed (TGV) train station. This month, they can learn a little about the ITER project through dozens of high-quality photographs that are displayed on walls, walkways and in waiting areas.
Organized by SNCF Gares & Connexions, a division of the railway infrastructure management company SNCF Réseau, the event is timed to appear during France's annual nationwide science festival.

According to the press release, the photography exhibition aims to "use art to inform [passengers] about the scientific progress happening in their region, and more broadly to raise awareness about energy solutions based on sustainable sources."

The striking photographs are the work of local artist Camille Moirenc, whose favourite pastime is observation. He describes it as "a way of discovering, travelling, meeting people" and "a way of perceiving beauty, even where it is least expected." He came nine times to the ITER site to photograph the work that is underway inside and outside of the buildings, shooting all kinds of scenes. The result is rich and varied, showcasing the beauty of technological innovation as well as the human side of science.

The exhibition will be displayed in the Aix-en-Provence TGV station through the end of November. A second exhibition will be set up in the main Marseille Saint-Charles station from mid-November through late December.
