FAME
“Sometimes you have to shine.”
— Andros Dresamore i

Critical text
by André de Sá Moreira
Standing under an old hardware store sign called "Fama," the man engages in a gesture of pure narcissistic affirmation. Arms behind his head, torso slightly exposed, leg bent, lips moving: everything points to a claim to glory in a place without glory.
The playback on the song Fame (Irene Cara) is intimate, awkward, as if the memory of the song is not in the right place.
The tension between the iconic music and the reality of the sidewalk is palpable: here, Andros isn't seeking glory—he's imposing it on a forgotten facade.The “Ferreteria Fama” sign, a remnant of a closed business, becomes an inverted totem of success.
The contrast between the word Fama (fame) and the banal architectural context transforms the scene into a celebrity auto-hallucination.
He mimes a celebrity who won't come.
Something that feels like an attempt, after the hour. Nostalgic
Testimony
" Il a pris la pose comme si il était Marylin Monroe. Bras derrière la tête, ventre un peu sorti, Je ne suis pas sur que son bide remplace celui de la star... Un type banal sans age qui y croit encore, c'était pathétique mais assez touchant dans le fond"
