description This article is the result of a presentation made in the workshop “The artist at work”, in the colloquium Images of work, Work of Images (Poitiers, February 13, 2013). The purpose is to discuss the methods of artistic representation of the working worlds and to interrogate the position of the artist in relation with his models, the workers. How does the artist get into his field, his setting? Is he an employee or a visitor? If he’s been invited to the enterprise, how will he negotiate the mise-en-scene with the workers? In what context and for what type of public will he show his final work? What would be the benefit (intellectual, professional, financial, etc.)?We want to focus on questions that arise both inside and outside the field of artistic representation. Among them, the terms of production and display of the images, the contractual relationship that the artists have with the workers, the “imbalance subjective” (product of the division of labor between the representatives and the represented) that persist between the artists and the workers, etc. We will follow methodologies used by artists who work in the aesthetic category of documentary art. The aim is to know how the invited-artist diminishes the invisibility of the workers, but also how he can restore the “imbalance subjective” between the author and his model, and what other perspective the employee-artist can propose from the world of work that he live in.
