Labour Day
In Ivry, on the 1st of May 2023, even the Excellent Worker by Charles Théodore Perron went marching.
In 2024, in continuation of the research initiated during the triennale, I launched in situ shootings, in real life, on the real plinth of the real place de l’Insurrection d’Août 1944, without photomontage or any other trick. For me it is also a way of combining different approaches and broadening the circle of participants.
