"Falsified visibility, ambiguous propoganda, corporate icons and deceiving photorealism. Lapotre is an expert on how to make an ad without the product, leaving the viewer with an idea to meditate on instead of an object to purchase.
Michel Comte
There is nothing 'still' about Lapotre's photographs: they change, evolve daily, reflecting our own changes, those of our times, as well as our contrasts and contradictions. Consumerism, vanity, moral values, esthetic principles, Lap™tre leads everything towards an epitomic destruction, a slow and splendid death. Mary-Noelle Dana"
