Where are the kids?
Where are the kids?
«Where are the kids?» is the title of this series developed over several years, which is committed to not answering this question.
It all begins as a game, a space of (re)creation for the duration of a summer, and a chiaroscuro universe that takes shape where the puppet-bodies float, wander, are reflected, signify, fall, and have serious fun. It is a dive into a fantastical place where time does not exist, a suspended world, where reality becomes cottony when the eyes of the lost children are dazzled by too much sun, or blinded by a strong light at night.
Each blink of an eye inaugurates a new interloping world. Life seems to be reduced to a nocturnal sequence.
To see the world differently and to observe each nuance of it. To slow down the time to put to sleep the sorrow.
