WHITE BUT BLACK
PARIS / 2020
Shades and colours, the debate of our societies.
What about the in-between ?
Those who reside in the grey, whose origins cannot be simply defined by a word ?
In a world where each group tries to tell where you belong, what about them ?
This photographic thesis addresses the complexity that many of us face. In a world based on colonization and being the result of exchanges between two continents, we are their product. A being that cannot be defined and sails in search of meaning, of origin.
What are our colors, our causes, our history ? When all address the issues of the black or the white, what about the new generation ? The one who tries to create her story without tending towards one group more than the other ?
Pink, brown, beige, none of these colors define my skin. I am a flag with many shades in an urban context that itself transforms.
Where are my privileges ?
