Charles Pétillon is a French-based artist and explores new visuality of architecture by using ''balloon''  metaphor as an explosion of images.These image series titled as ''invasions'' and presented as a different art collections in the artist's website.

Family Memories

This is a metaphor for family memories that spring from home. The white balloons symbolizing childhood naivety. This metaphor allows to ask us about family memory. How is it spread? Is it a universal need?

Play Station 2

This name obviously connects us to the famous game console itself symbolizing the video game universe. The purpose of this photo is to question the viewer on the uses of games in all forms, their evolution and their influence in society.

Mutation 2

This balloon device is an amplification of the molecular structure of DNA. It symbolizes genetic modifcations. By placing it in a picturesque environment, romantic; the stigma left by man in the natural space appear with greater force.

Invasions

Invasions is a reference to the program "A thousand pools", the "Sunflower" model was a great success in the everyday landscape late 70s early 80s Balloons allow take a look at an architectural heritage that symbolized the future and is désormé facing obsolescence and disappearance.

CO2

Co2 formula one mirages of our society. The man did not he ever seeks to acquire to satisfy his image? The automobile, object of lust is only a mirror of his desire for power over others and oneself. However its use has become a constraint that it is difcult to separate. This image is a metaphor of the infinity of the individual in the collective daily mirror scars he left on the world.
