All the objects and photos in Trucs were found on the street, mainly in Paris and its suburbs.
Although depositing, abandoning, throwing or dumping any type of garbage on the public highway is punishable by a fixed fine, there is nothing to prohibit its collection. All responsibility lies with the offender. This book reflects life and can be shocking.
As you can see, Trucs is the work of chaos, but also of voyeurism, collecting, fetishism, love of excrement and dirt, in short: Trucs is the epitome of a perverse book.
Trucs is a bad idea.
As useless as it is absurd, as undesirable as it is suspicious.
