Status et image de nos aînés dans la société française

Status et image de nos aînés dans la société française (“Status and image of our seniors in French society”) is the thesis project of Laura Dalex as a student in graphic design, Master 2 at the ECV Paris. From Laura’s portfolio website:

Everything starts from an obsession. Mine. The one that pushes me to take an interest in something that is commonly found in our landscapes; seniors. In a society where the feverishness of our physical exchanges eludes the digitalization of our meetings, our deans are fading away. Dead before their own death, they are gradually erased from a landscape that no longer accepts them. Their invisibility stems from the indifferent gaze of a young, dynamic and impatient society.

Through an edition fueled by the reflections of researchers and authors, and illustrated by revealing images from image banks, I wish to denounce the societal death in which we lock our elders. Supported by my personal impressions, this project is part of a momentum revealing the harmful effects of the image and negative representations of our elders.
