Minimoi
Inspired by the French photographer Gilbert Garcin for his self-portraits where he stages himself in reduced size and by the Spanish photographer Chema Madoz for his diversions of everyday objects, I started a series of self-portraits in color where I put myself on stage around objects present at home.
I appear reduced in size compared to my surroundings, diverting objects from their primary function to produce humorous photos.
This series is only meant to provoke a smile, a laugh in these gloomy times
As Charlie Chaplin said: “To laugh is to preserve yourself!”
