Wednesday at the Center #1 Apolline Lamoril - Martine de Bandol Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 6:30 PM at the Centre Photographique Marseille Free admission, subject to availability ___

“Martine died at 17 in the toilets of the Bandol casino from a heroin overdose during the summer of 1969. When I heard about the story in November 2015, it interested me because of the very sensationalist media coverage, the use of words like beatniks and dancing, but especially because Bandol is familiar to me. I decided to go back there to visit the places of the tragedy.”

Apolline Lamoril will present her new book, Martine de Bandol, published by Classe moyenne éditions. Blending photography and text, the book takes as its starting point the discovery of a news story that took place in Bandol, a small town on the French Riviera during the summer of 1969.

The book is designed by Xilo (Maxime Delavet + Loup Lopez) and concludes with a postface by author Phoebe Hadjimarkos-Clarke. It received support from the Centre régional de la photographie des Hauts-de-France and the département des Bouches-du-Rhône. Apolline Lamoril benefited from the Pytheas residency grant from the Centre Photographique Marseille in 2021 for this project.
