Summary :
All my recent work in various media has been about our inability to define a personality. It is a kind of invisible link between all my works. This video also tackles that problem through an image of perception. It is the story of my friends, my brother and me. We all grew up in the same building and became friends, not by choice but because we were born there. Ten years ago, everybody went his way, so that now, we hardly know each other. But in this work, each of us tries to define his own personality and to give his perception and interpretation of the personality of all the others. The story of six men therefore becomes the story of 36 personalities. Are they all real or are they virtual? Or… which of those are real and which are not ? Do we actually know each other or do we know an image that we created for ourselves and for the people we know ? This work does not try to solve the problem, only to show that it exists.
