“ I give you the truth

I would like to reach the limit between what is a fictitious image presented as such and the trompe l'oeil of representing something fully credible by following the usual clichés. I like to keep a subtle irony. The problem is that too much subtlety ends up being inappreciable (and unappreciated) and looking for obviousness could end as a pastiche. My game would consist of finding the MacGuffin that can disorient or distract the viewer by offering something fictitious that borders on the real. A reality so fabricated that it ends up being hardly believable. All of this connects to my travels where I find myself constantly fabricating images that match the preconceived idea that we - the clients and myself - have of what a Chinese person is in traditional China, an Indian in traditional India. And in the end it's not about what they are, it's about what we want them to be in order to fulfill our romantic expectations.
