Hypogée is a project mixing literature, music, illustration and photography, created by four Swiss artists - Joël Beney, David Amaral, David Campanico and Audrey Piguet.
It's a science-fiction story about two friends who live in the undergrounds and who are trying to escape from their precarious condition. A terrible war devastated the earth, chemical weapons threatening everywhere. Switzerland, in order to preserve its legendary neutrality and its citizens, decides to implement a gigantic protection plan. In total self-sufficiency, the Helvetic people are organized for their perpetuity.
These photographs depict key moments or emblematic scenes of the world imagined by Joel Beney, author of Hypogée's story. The challenge of this work was to photograph the present to bring it into a future, relatively close and identifiable, but decadent. Mixing studio and outdoor work, flash light and natural light, but also thanks to a work of accessorizing and research of objects, this series reveals us first dark underground scenes, where the colors are almost imperceptible due to gas lighting. The last image "Simulacre", reveals a monumental mountain of houses, both radiant and dying, symbol of the decadence engendered by the excessiveness of a civilization.
