"A Day at Work" is a photographic investigation that reveals the behind-the-scenes of the secret company "Ill. Corp.", an obscure society with enigmatic members ...
Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, with a mix of humor and irony, the series aims to illustrate collective belief, conspiracy, and ambient obscurantism.
These images, with their cold, clinical, and metallic aesthetic, chronicle an ordinary day in a company devoted to the propagation of conspiratorial theories. On the surface, the daily life of its associates is punctuated by secrets and hidden habits.
Who are they? Illuminati, reptiles, shadow leaders, aliens … ?
Behind their human appearance, their goal is common : to control, influence the masses, and feed paranoia. Manipulation through gases, adrenochrome, or global domination by cats... The recurring themes stem from the persistent rumors of the collective imagination.
Rooted in the imagery of the 80s, Julien and Thierry Palast offer an amused and perplexed look, inviting reflection on the roots of conspiracy.
