This is the story of two men getting to know each other although they are separated by a quarter of a century. On the one hand, the photographer – Marc Martin, whose work often focuses on bodies – questioning the male posture through his model. On the other, the model - Mathis Chevalier, an athlete and former MMA champion – who ends up widening the photographer’s horizon. Together, Matin and Chevalier lead the viewer's eye off camera, away from the frame dictated by the norm. Their favourite playground? Challenging the prevailing prudery.
