- Human Behaviours -

Installation of several slide-projectors showing 
thousands of slides in an intervall every four seconds.

Human Behaviours is a multiple slideshow, with 
hundreds of pictures of passers-by taken in different 
European rigorously organized into categories. 
We live constantly under the watchful eye of the 
CCTV camera, individuals with codes whose every 
move is monitored. 
We are used to being labelled, pigeonholed forever 
on the strength of superficial stereotypes. 
With the result that we end up keeping tabs on each other, 
defining, equating and distinguishing, giving to phenomena 
of social inclusion and exclusion based on parameters 
fixed at random. 
It is the tendency to an ironic extreme, organizing the 
collection on the basis of attitudes that are in no way 
exceptional,that are indeed hackneyed and commonplace.
But paradoxically it is precisely the absolute ordinariness 
of the portraits which have been catalogued that allows
the variegated diversity of our everyday universe to emerge.
