The photographic project, made in a parodic manner, reinterprets in a visual key with a modern symbolism some of the works of the famous artist René Magritte, carrying on the mystery of the artist's world. The name of the project is an allusion to Magritte's famous work entitled "La trahison des images"/ "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", but it also highlights what differentiates the two works. Thus, Magritte's bowler man returns to the fore under a new identity, mine, in a crippled modern world marked by multiple wounds and social traumas.
