Mehdi Belhaj Kacem, Antoine d’Agata

Diagonale du vide

It is about recording the spasms of humanity that is committing suicide, which has access to all the information needed to know what it is doing, and yet does nothing to revert the trend. We documented this suicide during a week of shared driving, of...
