Illustrations inspired by the book "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. They are portraits of imagined people who intend to reflect an existence of indifference, displacement and contradictions, taking into account a feeling of discomfort and inadequacy towards the world, its boundaries, cultures, and systems. They are digital collages. The characters' paintings were pasted into photo montages of wooden textures.
"Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a telegram from the home: "Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours." That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday".
excerpt from "The Stranger" - Albert Camus
"...there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe."
excerpt from "The Stranger" - Albert Camus
"Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.”
excerpt from "The Stranger" - Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.”
excerpt from "The Stranger" - Albert Camus
