My life is better than yours
France
2016Jury
In “My Life is Better than Yours“, Romain LEBLANC studies figures of modernity. To this end, he uses the selfie as a means of exposing his life to others and so complies with common practice, very much in vogue in social media: sharing, through photographs, what we are doing. For him, this approach manifests his belonging and respect for standards specific to the expectations of society. However, the photographer turns requirements into derision by exacerbating this conduct and exposing all aspects of daily life, including the most comical.
