Plastic Life.

Through an infinite number of imaginable stagings, the Plastic Life series has brought Vincent Bousserez a unique form of happiness over the years: it allows him to imitate—just like the digital screens he uses to create these images—real life, the human condition, by capturing the full range of our emotions and symbolizing a kind of "plastification" of our own existence.
Today, we ourselves are far more "plastic" than we were a hundred years ago; we consume and use this material almost unconsciously in our daily lives—even down to our credit cards.
While plastics are undeniably a source of misfortune—sometimes even altering our very physiology—they also remain a source of happiness and a symbol of progress, woven into the fabric of global consumerism.

Vincent Bousserez uses metaphors around plastic and plasticity—that is, the ability to reshape or transform—to offer a glimmer of hope: by creating these fictional scenes, he dreams of new worlds where we might one day free ourselves from the toxicity they subtly represent.
