Heartless
Since I am no genetics specialist, I did not feel legitimate about predicting human beings' evolution from a physical point of view. I preferred to imagine it metaphorically.

When one observes current society, human greed is extremely obvious. Money leads almost everything. What let me bitter, is the fact this greed is often totally useless: while some money can be obviously useful to live comfortably, accumulating it just to be able to write more "zeros" on a bank account makes not much sense to me. I feel like there's no precise goal to that, except the thrill to possess more and more, to keep stacking things blindly, even if it reaches the point where it becomes destructive. I look at such behavior like a severe addiction.

This is such feeling I wanted to share through my image. I chose to depict a dark future, where the new leading animal (obviously evolved from human beings) keeps working towards a goal, without really knowing why. This lack of conscience is symbolized by the hole in the middle of their chests, while they keep feeding the big fat creature that they worship.

Un excellent concept, une réalisation déroutante et superbe!
Je l'avais vu en screening mais étais passé à côté, il me manquait une clef de compréhension. Cette image se révèle maintenant avec ton axe de lecture, vraiment un travail excellent Christophe!
Christophe Kiciak  Merci beaucoup Cédric. J'avoue que celle-ci est un peu étrange, surtout sans le contexte... ce qui la rend probablement assez austère. Cela étant, j'avais vraiment envie de la faire ! Merci encore pour le commentaire, ravi qu'elle t'ait plu.

I love story telling images and I like to have my own interpretation when viewing them. You describe your picture here and as expected I see another story but anyway, this is art and this is also what I love. Your whole gallery is art and really various interesting things can be seen there. Thank you for that. Baptiste
Christophe Kiciak  Thanks a lot Baptiste. I tend to agree, letting the viewer make his own interpretation of an image is a good thing. For this one, I decided to communicate about the general idea due to the fact this topic matters to me, and wanted to be as clear as possible. However, of course, feel free to disregard my words and look at things the way you like! I'm extremely happy when people look at my stuff at all :-) Thanks again for your great comment.
