Note: "Ceci n'est pas un chapeau" is a work at the heart of the artist's theme titled "Zeugma". This concept is borrowed from a rhetorical figure where the term evokes, for the artist, the absence of a visible bridge between two visions, forcing the viewer to search for the hidden meaning in the details.
