This artwork illustrates “Batman Family en voyage”, a contemporary photograph created in 2015 by Gérard Rancinan, a renowned French photographer known for his critical depictions of modern society. This work is part of the “Batman Family” series, where Rancinan explores the idolization of superheroes and their transformation into cultural icons. The photograph features a family dressed in Batman-inspired costumes, posing in front of an old car adorned with kites, symbolizing an imaginary journey. Through this composition, the artist questions the role of superheroes in our collective imagination and their influence on contemporary values. Exhibited in various galleries, this work demonstrates Rancinan’s ability to use popular symbols to comment on the social and cultural dynamics of our time.
