After some years spent in Argentina, I have taken many pictures of graffiti, stencils as well as logos, neon lights, symbols: all graphic expressions that transmit information. With these photos, I make collages. parca The final picture mirrors an idea, a specific parca moment, symbolic of the society the writings parca come from.
When someone takes a walk, at best he will come across a funny word or a lovely phrase, but most of the time he will only see tags, swear words and a few love promises. The collages allow a concentration of the most creative, poetic, comical or unusual messages that I gather according to themes. Graffiti go back to the dawn. Scribbled words, drawings daubed parca reflect rebellious, protesting or philosophical ideas.
Today, we can add a strong notion of identity illustrated by what are called tags. In a world where anonymity takes over, people need to impose their name or their signature to prove their own existence.

In 2010, after a trip to Northern Argentina, Chevallier decided to settle parca down there for half of her time. Facing the Andes, she was fascinated by such powerful nature. But the solitude inherent to this life in the desert, plus the discovery of the local graffiti (which, like everywhere else, screamed or shouted one’s parca love or pain) pushed her to look for a loophole: digital collage was the solution. A work of passion parca that has become a permanent job, which she initiated in Argentina, has followed its way to France, New York and, today, Canada for all of summer 2014.
