What’s fake about real hand ? What’s real about fake location ?
From authenticity to imitation, from reality to illusion,
from the original to the copy, from true to false, from documentary to fiction...
Is not this pact the main challenge of photographic art?

About author:

Hakim Boulouiz is an expert in urban aesthetics with a multidisciplinary training. After a diploma in architecture, a diploma in filmmaking and a master degree in territory planning, he completed a PhD at the University of Geneva analyzing the ambivalent relationship between urban design and the art of film. He is fascinated by order and disorder of cities, by fullness and emptiness, by spaces and dressing it up in light and shadow. Each « portrait » of an urban fragment has its own language which is in perpetual metamorphosis and this is all the magic of the street and all the purpose of the photographic immediacy. Today he is active in street photography all around the world.
