BEATING EVERYDAY (WORK IN PROGRESS)

  • Guillaume Landry
Everyone, every human on this earth was born in adversity.Coming out of that sweet, comforting and warm mother’s belly does represent a tear when one lands into a world that is destroying us more than it fills, isn’t it? At work, with family, in one’s relationship with others, issues can be found anywhere…Every single day is a new adventure created to overcome victories and failures in one’s daily routine.
In the manner of American football players who are endlessly struggling in order to bring success to their team, it seemed natural to me to compare this technique and strength sport, yet really strategic as well to illustrate our lifestyle in 2013, where everything happens so quickly, where relationships are made and unmade at the pace of tweets that are barely read, where the crisis gives way to the only ones who are strong enough to keep fighting…to the daily fighters, who can put a knee on the ground from times to times but are still able to get up and move forward. Contractors, parents, preachers, faithful friends, artists, dreamers accomplishing their destiny … they are the people who run the world, to their level, with their personal involvement.
Black and white portraits, each participant must paint his face with the make-up originally used by Amercian football players.
