La nuit les chats le gris_Clubbing

A world of pleasure, of irrationality and recklessness. A world of images, lights, exhibitions, appearances. 

The nightclub’s life and its mythology, sound, crystals, sex, alcohol and drugs and chatting up. 

"Julie Dossavi brings in almost a sociologic look to the nightlife, she dissects its soul". Laurence Rollet, La Filature Mulhouse
