Free canvas without frame, must be framed - free canvas without frame [English below] A placebo is a fake medicine which does not contain any active substance but which nevertheless makes it possible to relieve certain symptoms by taking it alone. This is called the "placebo effect". Indeed, the patient, persuaded to have taken a drug which will cure him, will really feel positive effects via the hormones of the pleasure. So it is not the placebo that relieves, but the brain. I used the same principle in this canvas to get us to think about our use of social networks. Are these applications placebo? By making believe (and making us believe) that our lives are only dream vacations, healthy food, perfect bodies and ideal parenthood, are we not fooling our brains on the reality of our daily life? A placebo is a substance without therapeutic value. There is no impact on the disease itself but the placebo can help to treat some symptoms, thanks to the brain's response. This artwork is a thinking about the social networks. Using this apps, posting amazing photographs of our life or looking at the other lives (perfect holidays, marvelous children, healthy food ...), don't we lie to our brain about our everyday life?

Annabelle Amory

France

Born in 1988 in Oise, Annabelle has been painting canvases and writing books since childhood. In the family, no one practices an artistic, musical or sporting activity. What matters in this environment is above [...]

So Annabelle obeys and climbs the ladder: degree in art history and archeology in Amiens, Master in Sciences of Antiquity in Lille, then, finally, the last stage: a doctorate in Greek archeology which she obtains in 2017. However, during her research, she did not stop painting and even exhibiting whenever she had the opportunity. At the end of her thesis defence, she informed her jury: no, she would not embark on research but would attempt an artistic career.

The difficult issue of identity, duality and inner conflict is at the heart of Annabelle's thinking. Whether it is the injunction made to women (on their physique, their activities or their social status) or the personal evolution in our society (where the norm is still the only model and where the difference is stifled), the question is then the same: how to make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How can we assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the eyes of others, social networks, money or even success?

Eco-feminist and anti-conformist, Annabelle draws from her personal history these two-speed anxieties, torn between her deep convictions and the current norm. She then analyzes her own life course and delivers an almost autobiographical gallery on the canvas: if none of the characters really resemble her, they nevertheless evoke all her concerns, her conflicts, the people she has met as well as different moments of her life. life.
