jean-louis schoellkopf, 1946, lives in Blainville-sur-l'eau, France
Jean-Louis Schoellkopf’s work explores the problems of the contemporary cities confronted to the changes caused
by the new economical choices, the changes in companies and industrial production.
All these ideological changes lead to new arrangements of urban spaces, create new ways of thinking
and living the city that cause new conflicts.
Today, , it seems
easy to point, in the organization of the city, the familiar layouts and zoning issued from social
hierarchies.
Great is the temptation to erase every trace of the industrial era.
He tries to shed light to these issues by the description and analysis of different urban
situations, in France and in Europe, according to historical, geographical and sociological
points of view.
What do our cities, factories, houses become; how do we feel them today?
His project is artistic.
He is convinced that the artist still has to be an actor in society.
