Freedom of Expression by Christophe Kiciak

This Picture is available as Photo Print, Canvas on Stretcher, Framed Picture, Glass Print and Wall Paper.

Everything photographed and edited by me. As you probably know, on 7 January 2015 occurred the deadliest act of terrorism in France of the last 50 years. 12 persons died in the offices of "Charlie Hebdo", a satirical newspaper, because they believed in an absolute form of freedom of expression. I must confess this tragedy hurt me deeply. A few days later, a gigantic march occurred in Paris as an historical act of protestation against terror, against censorship. At least everything is not lost, millions of people still believe in those values: it was somewhat heart-warming. The day after that march, I decided to pay an homage to this reaction, by recreating another version of the famous painting "La liberté guidant le peuple" by Eugène Delacroix. In this version, I replaced all the weapons by pens, pencils, cameras or books, as a metaphor for the defense of freedom of expression. Of course, that painting involves various characters, and I don't have access to lots of models. As a consequence, I brought my camera at work, and quickly improvised a shooting session. I had no lighting gear at all, so it was a bit challenging, but lots of people spontaneously accepted to pose for the project. Thank you so much everyone! From left to right: - Olivier, the photographer, always keen for a good laugh - Simon, the dead clown, and the most helpful guy you'll ever meet - Ronan, the singer, that definitely does not need a microphone in real life - Francesca, the social networker, unstoppable whatever the circumstances - Marianne, la République, my dear wife who guides my life - Yannick, the paperboy, whose brain is quicker that light - Luc, the dead book-writer, as clever as Yoda, but much more handsome It was an ambitious project, very challenging to achieve in a few days (there are 44 different photos assembled in the final image, and I shot around 1000 of them to get there), but I am happy of the result, and I hope others will enjoy it too. Thanks for watching, et Vive la Liberté !
