Pimpology is an exotic display, falsified items made in China, whose disposition takes its bad taste from the methods of reconstitution.

We enter in this sculpted image as we take the initiative to go on the other side of the shopwindow. This is essentially a staging of tradition and authenticity to the use of passenger, a fair reward after many acts of figuration.

Eventually, to me, it's about testing the possibility of selling the cultural experience of the elsewhere, through a scenography that could be from a low-budget Ethnology Museum or from the show room of a travel agency.
