Humanity (Hong Kong) (Series)
DESCRIPTION
this serie comprises of 8 images, each 200x200cm and put on stage 1000 pictures of characters (all different).
All elements and the 1000 characters have been shot in Asia (mainly in Hong Kong).
I tried here to develop a very rigorous approach, to pay respect to all these individuals who are within their intimacy and at the same time exposed and vulnerable.
On purpose this will hardly fit any Instagram like display.
AUTHOR
french, living in asia for more than 20 years.
born in sept 28 1951 in France
digital photography from 1999, painting before.
approach : questioning the role and influence of the "image", from sign to symbol or icon.
exploring the "photographic image" as a frontier.
a contemporary approach of photography should lead to get a bit rid of the "subject" and of the documentary duty.
