My name is Vanessa alias Lova Photo. This is my series ” Les Pérégrinations de Mr Panurge,” made in France. It’s been a while that I wanted to implement it. After what I saw around me, in our society, I went ahead and did it. I wish, through this series, to demonstrate that we are acting every day in our lives is the same way as all our fellow citizens. We live, we work, we think and act as required by the Society and Others. We no longer think by ourselves. We certainly do not want to be borderline. We want, in spite of ourselves, to be like the others, for fear of being pointed at. We even forget who we really are. This is the Society that dictates our choices, our way of being and thinking. We especially do not want to be different, borderline, for fear of offending and being put aside! Mr. Panurge shows us picture after picture an ordinary everyday life. The last image leaves us in hope of being able to go against everything, forget everything, leave everything behind to FINALLY be one’s self. I have chosen. And you?”
