_ Consumption

Heaped cartons, broken garbage cans, hollowed out packaging;

 These scenes are not uncommon in big cities. Overconsumption coupled with overpackaging makes waste management difficult; and for good reason, most of the contents of a 21st century bin consist of plastic and cardboard, packaging that is designed and manufactured to play its role only a few days, or weeks in the theater of hyper-consumption. . So we find them, soon after their birth, crammed on the sidewalks, empty of content and empty of meaning.

 If you enter an antique store, most of the objects around you were born before you and may die after you, their lifespan is not determined, they are not subject to planned obsolescence and only the treatment of those who possess them will affect them.

This series is a contemplative eye that questions our relationship to objects and consumption according to time.
