On Site – Rubis Mécénat

On Site is a photographic reportage by Cyprien Clément-Delmas shot in 2012 on the ITC site of Rubis Terminal Antwerp NV in Beveren, in the port of Antwerp. Through this series, Clément-Delmas pays homage to the industrial site and to those that work there.

The photographer highlights the work of the people that shape today’s industry, by bringing a humanist gaze. The installations were exhibited in 2015 at the MAS Havenpaviljoen and were part of the Havenland project initiated by the Antwerp’s Port Authority and consisting of a planned itinerary to discover this unique landscape.

Cyprien Clément-Delmas

Cyprien Clément-Delmas (b. 1986) is a French photographer and film-maker who lives and works in Barcelona.

Adopting a documentary approach, he embeds himself in communities and creates intimate and realistic portraits over several years. His first full-length documentary film, Boy of War, follows a young Ukrainian soldier going to the front. Several of his short films have won awards at festivals (Intrusion, Day One, The Last Tape). He combines this with his work for Rubis Mécénat, running photography workshops with young people in the townships of Johannesburg (South Africa) with Of Soul and Joy, and in Kingston (Jamaica) with InPulse. He also leads workshops in prisons.
