One man, one story. Throughout the issues, the newspaper Meyrin Ensemble stops time and simply tells the story of one of the inhabitants of the commune of Meyrin. A singular character whose story, beyond the news, narrates a slice of life. A full-page photo in 35x21cm format taken by Laurent Barlier accompanies an article written by Julien Rapp. The photos are taken without any artifice, most often on location and after the interview in which the photographer participates to learn more about "the neighbor." The constraint is mainly related to the format. Photo of Werner Haller by Laurent Barlier
