I Want My Mech Suit

Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions.

“Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds a people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict.”

On april 7th, 2017, I made a request of a french ID card. All the papers asked for the card were legal and authentic, the demand was accepted and I have now my new French ID card.

The photo I submitted for this request is actually a 3D model created on a computer, by means of several different software and techniques used for special effects in movies and in the video game industry. It is a digital image, where the body is absent, the result of an artificial process.

The image corresponds to the official demands for an ID: it is resembling, is recent, and answers all the criteria of framing, light, bottom and contrasts to be observed.

The document validating my french identity in the most official way thus presents today an image of me which is practically virtual, a version of video game, fiction.

That’s The Zone. It may seem capricious but it’s what we’ve made it in our condition…I think it lets those pass who have lost all hope. Not good or bad but wretched people. But even the most wretched will die if they do not learn how to behave.
