philippechollet.net / Atlantis

"Atlantis" is a true webtrip dealing with our loaded background and the biaised perceptions that come with it when one is evolving in an unfamiliar environment.

 


When travelling you are often mislead by rendering what you are experiencing through the prism of your own culture. You think you are getting it, while you are actually "misunderstanding" what is happening around. With some time, you realise that you are out of touch, that you have had wrong interpretations... Actually, you start understanding that you are "not understanding" at all. This is the cultural shock. With much more time, you hopefully end up making sense, you are "understanding" somehow.
