The particularity of these two new series is about the attitude of the models doing the V sign with their fingers. this kind of stereotypic attitude made by many japanese young people when they photograph eachother… Some say the V sign is a celebration of life, something dealing with happiness. The others pretend this is related to the Japanese history…kind of « peace » sign dealing with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Seijinshiki series is a traditional series, also if the attitude is slighty different. The Purikura is more complexe, opening the field of a new research about portraits, european « vanités »… The images will be modified (the background mainly) and some objects will be added on the pictures (like the young japanese do in the « Print Club »-Purikura- machine in the noisy game centers… I’ll show more soon.
