Thaddé Comar

How was your dream?

 

How Was Your Dream? is a photography project created during the protests that took place in Hong Kong between June and October 2019. The work addresses new forms of protest and insurrection in our post-contemporary times dominated by uninterrupted control societies.

Five years earlier, in Hong Kong, the Umbrella Movement had been rapidly repressed by State and police violence. In 2019, the democratic uprising that began in May gathered momentum. Faced by a sophisticated arsenal of control, the Hong Kong protesters developed several techniques based on principles of invisibility and untraceability that allowed them to mitigate the effects of the repression. These new mechanisms, which help transform methods of struggle and resistance, lead, nevertheless, to a loss of individuality.

 

Thaddé Comar (France, 1993) is a French-Swiss photographer. After studying social sciences and economics, he completed a bachelor’s degree in photography at ECAL in 2018. His artistic practice has developped around themes linked to current affairs and activism. These subjects, usually associated with journalistic work, become a field of exploration for the photographer. His work extracts matter from these events, which he rewrites in installations, hangings and books.He his now based in paris where he juggles between commision photography, editorials and personal projects.
