In 2008, he travelled to the United Arab Emirates. In this immense open-air construction site, he discovered features in common with Communist dictatorships: utopia, a cult of personality inducing an invasive iconography, the concentration of power, control over individuals and above all a denial of humanity. Philippe Chancel focuses on the manner in which these societies display their power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis photographs seek to demystify this contemporary illusion. The documentary aesthetic, the frontal and distanciated framing, and the absence of any form of emotion precisely indicate the site where the propaganda of ideologies operates: in appearances and pretence.
