À la recherche du père

With great humor and unfailing honesty, À la recherche du père is a photographic investigation into the role of the father and his representations, at a time when family constellations are in upheaval. Visual artist Camille Lévêque attempts to capture the essence of the father figure. Present, absent, idealized and respected as much as rejected, embodying authority and protection as much as oppression: who are these fathers?

Camille Lévêque skilfully blends images and text to deconstruct patriarchy through a pungently ironic feminist prism. An eclectic visual journey through personal archives, montages, advertisements, family albums found at flea markets, collected objects, misappropriated images, videos, personal stories and interviews, À la recherche du père is intended as a bible on the subject. A must-have for all fans of offbeat social criticism.
