One thing leads to another
Marseille (in the south of France), a city with diverse influences and a rich cultural heritage, reveals itself through its clothing. This photographic series serves as a starting point for a deeper reflection on our roots and their impact on our lives. It is not just a work of memory but also a mirror that reflects the complexity of our shared heritage.
Focusing on the evolution of the Provençal costume, from past to present, the series traces the social, political, and cultural transformations that have shaped Western societies. Clothing becomes a language and a silent carrier of ancestral stories, engaging with the present to remind us of where we come from and to question the path we are on.
This project invites us to reconsider our cultural heritage by exploring the continuity between past and present. The anachronistic choice of locations, balancing tradition and modernity, adds another layer to this reflection, highlighting the coexistence of different eras in contemporary reality. Each piece of clothing thus becomes not only a symbol of identity but also a witness to our collective memory, connecting generations and reflecting our view of the world.
