Lilou
Lilou - “Lilou is the nickname we gave to my autistic older brother
Antoine, 34 years old (…) Like Luc Besson's heroine in The Fifth Element, he
is someone exceptional, living in a universe different from ours,” we
confided Lucie Hodiesne Darras, a 27-year-old photographer, when we
met for the first time. For five years, the young artist has been composing,
in true collaboration with his elder, Lilou. A sensitive project highlighting
light a handicap that is still too stigmatized. \n"It is in a very dynamic
positive and humanist that I would like to propose a new look at autism,
full of hope and optimism, for better inclusion in our society
", the author says today. And, if the protagonist of her story does not speak
not, does not write, does not draw, through the pictures of his sister he reveals himself
yet with astonishing honesty. Always attentive to the well-being of her
brother, Lucie Hodiesne Darras erects, to the rhythm of her rituals – meetings
necessary in time and space – a poetic monochrome tale. A
object reminiscent of the family album, at the heart of which the portraits are both raw
and delicate follow one another to immerse the reader in his universe.
