Synopsis

From scraps of paper glued to each other, the characters of multi-faceted personalities are aligned and drawn. From luxury magazines displaying the opulence of an inaccessible world, we expose figures that have forced the doors of history. From products carrying a dream of outrageous consumption, we highlight the dreams and ideals of an entire people.
