Paparazzi

In their series of images Paparazzi, the duo of artists Mazaccio and Drowilal use and divert the images of these photographers hunters of images, and establish a typology of celebrity behavior. “The Beach”, “Bike Riding”, “Surfing”, their titles are more than explicit. If these representations tend to show that they lead a “normal” life, they nevertheless display the codes that mark their belonging to a class apart. By decontextualizing these models and working on their accumulation, the artists neutralize the sensational charge inherent in their representation and expose the ideology and the model of society that is hidden behind this epiphenomenon.
