I would also like to be

Suède

2015

I’m following and spying on my ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend. I ‘m spying on them through Facebook, downloading all the pictures of themselves they have been uploading there. I’m placing myself in the “new girlfriend”’s position, imitating her poses, expressions and dressing myself in the same outfit as her. Then I’m photographing myself in the same light as in their pictures. I finally glue my figure on top of the original picture, covering the new girlfriend. By doing this, I compose a dream of my own on top of theirs. During the process of taking the new girlfriends poses, I’m once again, briefly, part of my ex lover’s life. I then imagine how it would be to be her. « I would also like to be, A work on jealousy » is a book with 47 photo collages.
