Newsstand I
Newsstand I is part of the "Newsstand" series.
Newsstand is a series of five 1/1 works exploring how lifestyle media are perpetuating and reinforcing stereotypes while boasting audience and distribution with inflated characteristics. What if such publications decided to be truthful about their actual readership’s psychological and sociological profile?
“I have always been fascinated by lifestyle media: magazines, websites, YouTube channels, Instagram, and Tik Tok accounts telling us what to do to belong instantly to our aspirational status by purchasing services or physical objects that will effectively accomplish the so desired and anticipated transition” - P. Gervois

I'm a crypto-poet. I use language to describe the world around me without any emotion, opinion, or stated point of view.
My work describes the exercise of power in all aspects, from socially humiliating micro-moments of our daily life to future political issues in the Mars colonies.
