Mirage, the Street art is on the screen.

Jerry Kan

At the exhibition at the preview of "Plus belle sera la chute" (The more beautiful they come) February 6, 2015 , the Mirage's working was exposed to the left of the room. The work he made after viewing the film, is Icarus falling into a bottomless pit, or into the darkness is to light, illustrating the fall, word included in the title of the short. The eye follows Icarus: we fly in the space between shades of green but also navigate between waters because the mythical character is framed by two compasses, navigation tools used as a reference to a play on words between the two main characters of the film.

Mirage does not hesitate to show another painting more matter of fact and very close tones, which represents two boxers, one attacking his adversary (who is on the defensive). Both athletes are wearing boxing gloves colors orange and pale green. This choice is it due to the verbal sparring between Jennifer and Gerard of "Plus belle sera la chute" (The more beautiful they come) punctuated by a military helmet on which is written "Born to Kill " as Mirage set down right next ?

As to soften the struggle between two sports, Mirage then shows a very zen table with a Buddha and a pink flower. Could it be to get the message that the end of "Plus belle sera la chute" (The more beautiful they come) is positive ? To  be clear in your  own mind about it, you should ask him directly.

Mirage offered late night one of his pictures (showing Icarus) to Espérance, who was deeply touched by his generosity. For her, Mirage is not a mirage, he is indeed real, they are both met through Streetbook.
