« Who controls information : controls reality »
Benjamin Disraeli

« September 11th » is made up of 99 pictures, 99 jigsaws, and one display of 9 x 11 photos, comprising 43’560 pieces of puzzles, 20 m2, that illustrate the fragility of the balance of world power.
Intended as a reflection on human rights, the exhibition is constructed against a background of the attacks on 11 September 2001.
This jigsaw-puzzle exhibition, a deliberate référence to our fragmented world system, attempts to reconstitue our perception of the facts through an assembly of images from the broadcastingmedia.
The media have given a global dimension tothese terrorist attacks.
United States – Afghanistan – Irak
But the fundamental principles of human rights, such as justice, peace, the right to life and the right to security are being violated everywhere.
Violence ! War ! Terrorism ! Oppression !

Television has become the main and sometimes even the only source of information for the majority, hence the extreme power of this media which is often under the influence of the economic, political and military decision-makers. The image of reality it portrays is deformed. A well-devised and consistent vision of the world is replaced by a confusing jigsaw haunted by television icons.
The information society, also called the fourth estate, is interested in the ideological control of images and by their symbolism.
Does television exist to serve reality or power ? Who choose the images we see ? What is its role ? To inform or manipulate ?
In a world scattered like light from a prism and broken up like a jigsaw, it is up to humankind itself to find its unitywithin its productive diversity.
