In nearly every aspect of life boundaries have become porous. what is real and what is fiction? Though it has become exponentially easier to access information, how it is presented has made it more difficult to interpret. This makes the task of revealing social realities a difficult one. Yves Scherer's practice strives to peel off these layers. His work has largely centered on unveiling the boundary between public and private life moments, particularly very intimate or romantic ones. fascinated, it seems, by the celebrity culture and that of well-known hollywood stars, he layers it with personal moments from his own life to narrate a new story, creating a form of fan art, if you will.
