21st-century masquerade
A faceless theater for an era without fixed points of reference.
This series is a poetic mirror held up to our era. In Paris, we pass by without being seen. Online, we put ourselves on display without ever really appearing. Avatars, filters, pseudonyms...
A visual and conceptual reflection on contemporary identity.
The disappearance of the face subverts the codes of portraiture and questions what it means to “represent oneself today.” Identity unfolds elsewhere. Eras, genres, and cultures interact without apparent hierarchy.
This poetic photo album, combining a touch of cynicism, a hint of humor, and an aesthetic and experimental exploration, also attests to the fear of facial recognition and increased surveillance that threatens us.
Mascarade du XXI e siècle offers no answers. It questions this paradox.
It offers a perspective. Or rather, an absence of perspective in order to see better.
