La trilogie du Bonheur
by Marvin Bonheur

Marvin Bonheur’s debut work, La trilogie du Bonheur, spans a decade of photographs documenting his life in Seine-Saint-Denis, the Paris suburb where he grew up. Structured into three chapters, the book is a deeply personal yet universal exploration of memory, identity, and resilience in a place often marginalised and misunderstood.

The first chapter, “Alzheimer”, dives into Bonheur’s childhood and adolescence, presenting snapshots of everyday life that feel both nostalgic and raw. From tender moments with friends to the quiet resilience of his surroundings, these images reflect the innocence and complexity of growing up in a stigmatised area. The second chapter, “Therapie”, shifts focus to the present, confronting stereotypes and societal injustices. Through striking portraits and candid street photography, Bonheur celebrates the vibrancy and humanity of a community often erased or vilified in mainstream narratives.

The final chapter, “Renaissance”, captures Bonheur’s transition into professional photography, blending his roots with a newfound aesthetic confidence. As he balances personal history with artistic ambition, the book becomes a testament to the power of storytelling and representation. Accompanied by essays from Marvin Bonheur and Mohamed Bourouissa, La trilogie du Bonheur is an essential work that amplifies voices from the margins and reclaims their rightful place in the cultural conversation.
