La forge aujourd'hui

In 1915, the Marmont forge disappeared, replaced by a cable factory whose buildings were moved to the railroad tracks where ArcelorMittal now stands. This last episode is illustrated by a wall of contemporary photographs by Claire Jachymiak.

“The reportage at the wire-drawing plant in Sainte-Colombe-sur-Seine focuses on the buildings' remarkable heritage features. The elevated photographs emphasize the verticality of the architectural lines, placing the viewer at an angle that also accentuates the impressive perspectives of the industrial spaces. These immense spaces are sometimes punctuated by bright colors that bring out the predominant unity of tones: grays, wood, black and white".
