Description
The black and white shot photographs (2016-2019), part of de Mortemart's Quest project, portray humans deluged in daily routine, lost in the anonymity of large cities, facing the unknown in search of themselves.
The characters are seeking solutions and perhaps answers to the reason for their existence - lost in the universe, without any understanding but with a desire to find a solution with a sentiment of solitude and anxiety in a rapidly changing world.
With the belief that we are entering an era of increasing uncertainty where people are losing faith and lacking the answers to dealing with a fractured world, the men and women appearing in Quest are not capable of telling who they are, nor where they come from in a world they hardly understand any longer.
