Some people say that, as soon as you do something that gets negative publicity, it is a sign you've done something fantastic. If that is the case, than photographer François Rousseau most certainly made it to that level - but that we already knew.
AMOR CAUSA, LES BEAUTITUDES, is the title of Rousseau's latest project. The creator of Dieux du Stade and Princes de l'Atlantique went to the favela of Rio de Janeiro in order to create an exciting and touching 'Bible reloaded', a magnificent series of portraits and photographic fresco's, imagining a contemporary Christ, by using people from the streets. A new search for religion? No, not at all. This is all about simple and pure beauty.
Personal hygiene and beauty product manufacturer Renova shared François's vision and created a fantastic campaign with Rousseau's imagery in combination with the text of les Béautitudes. The result can unfortunately not been seen here in France, since the BVP has forbidden the publicity of the campaign, using as excuse the images might be painful for certain religious orientated persons...
Our neighbors in Spain and Portugal are more lucky, they get the full scoop.
However, Francois's book Amor Causa, les Béatitudes, is available in stores, and next from march 10 till 20th 2006, Amor Causa will be exhibited in the Grand Palace, here in Paris.
For discovering Renova's campaign, visit Amor Causa.
absolutely beautiful

Pauvre BVP ! Faudra-t-il aussi dire "Pauvre France"?
La laideur et la vulgarité en quasi continuité sur M6 et TF1, tout le petit monde des medias l'accepte !
De belles photos en illustration des béatitudes, le BVP les retoque !
D'où sortent-ils ces gens là ? Sont-ils amnésiques, incultes ou tartuffes à ce point ?
Des siècles de luttes contre les abus de pouvoir, souvent et massivement sanglants des potentats religieux, n'ont-ils servis à rien ? Les luttes de Galilée, de Giordano Bruno, de Voltaire, de Diderot et de tous les animateurs du mouvement du siècles des Lumières, les luttes des révolutionnaires, de Victor Hugo et même de Jules Ferry, tout cela ne compte plus en France ? Que reste-il alors de la culture française ? Comment les jeunes pourraient-ils se reconnaître dans une culture aussi obscurantiste, hypocrite et ringarde. Comment pourraient-ils adhérer à des valeurs aussi grossières et pauvres ? Imaginons que Jules II ait été obligé de retoquer Michel Ange parcequ'il aurait commis une oeuvre qui "Au regard des dispositions déontologiques en vigueur, ne peut pas (…) être finalisée en l’état, car elle est de nature à heurter les convictions religieuses d’une partie du public" ? En m'imaginant être devenu l'être le plus obtus, le plus imbécile de la création je n'arrive pas à l'envisager.
Ces gens du BVP sont à plaindre. Ce sont des Tristes.
Ces gens du BVP sont aussi à huer car le pouvoir qui leur a été délégué leur a permis, par la décision qu'ils ont prise d'être les liberticides les plus cons que l'on puisse rencontrer.
Les Portuguais et les Espagnols seraient-ils les seuls à garder la flamme qui a contribué à rendre notre culture universelle ?
Va-t-il falloir avoir honte d'être Français ?
Comment peut-on les empêcher de poursuivre une activité aussi gravement nuisible à notre pays ?
Jules II

I just don't have much to say recently. Maybe tomorrow. Pfft. Whatever. Today was a loss.

More or less nothing seems important. It's not important. Shrug. Whatever. I've just been hanging out doing nothing, but eh. I can't be bothered with anything lately.
