Conceptual photography
My mosquito guy, burning his eyes, staring at artificial lights of the night.
Automatic consumption
First photograph of what appear to be a mosquito guy, staring at lights, staring at consumer society

Automatic consumption XXL
Bigger and louder version...
Idolatry of the market
"This isn't anything new.
Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order.
Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest. (...)"

Close encounter
A Close encounter of the third kind during a night window shopping session...
Administrative lighting
Strange "Big brother" like administrative signs, that are ignored by everybody... except by my mosquito guy...
Watching Big Brother
A variant of the photography Administrative lightning, influenced by the writings of George Orwell and his famous "Big Brother is watching you" in 1984.
The choice of the Mozilla Thunderbird T-shirt is of course essential for this photograph :)
Why you are here ?
I suspect designers of Street furnitures for the Paris train stations to be big fans of Science Fiction.
Once they have the opportunity, they transform the simplest element into a strange warlike machine, straight out of Sci-Fi classics like 1984 or The War of the Worlds ...
A nice opportunity for a strange encounter at the Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris ...
Hall lights
My Mosquito Guy, zoning out at the entrance of an apartment, completely lost in the darkness of the night.
