en Cherchant Pokemon sur la Promenade des Anglais

watercolour, collage  30” w, 27” h  2017

Searching for Pokemon, the augmented reality version, became a worldwide sensation at the same time as a violent attack took place on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. This collage was inspired by a no longer extant casino on the promenade and by games, such as roulette and chess. It is a statement about our “civilization” that while some are distracted from reality by game playing, terrorists are attacking innocent people out for a stroll on the promenade.
