Peace or Violence

After denouncing the violence suffered by our planet and by children, it was natural for me to tackle the subjects of war and peace in the world. During a visit to the PICZ studio in Zurich, I decided to work once again with a model, Awhisn (an acronym for “Anonymous Was His Name”). As my work is always based on strong contrasts and paradoxes, I chose to photograph a soldier to promote peace. Letting his body express itself to the rhythm of the music, the soldier transforms into a dancer, eventually sketching out the sign of victory or that of peace. The title of this series, “Peace and Violence”, came to me on my flight back to Washington, when I discovered Stromae's song of the same name. https://youtu.be/HIlhQOd-XKo?feature=shared Peace & Love
