"No one can understand our love. Others are too perfect to love. We will never be like everyone else because we are sensitive enough to see it, the beauty. Beauty in everything, everywhere. At every moment, it arises, it overwhelms us." Hugo to Emma / Facebook.

Marion Poussier about her exhibition in Deauville Love: 

"You haveto look hard to see a teenager in this city that's not really cut out for them. It is at the exit of the high school that you can find them in clusters. There they wait for their bus, their parents. They go home and move 5, 10, 15 or 20 km away from Deauville in the countryside. Scattered, they stay connected. Hundreds of text messages, hours on Facebook. In their words we hear their bodies talking. Of love. A complex web of intertwined threads links them to each other, invisible to the adult eye. She relays the moments when these links become tangible, when the eyes meet and the skins discover each other. It is fragile. And it is strong.
Equipped with a large format camera, I went to meet teenagers in Deauville and became interested in the enigmatic question of love at this age. I would like to be in love, you would like to be in love, we would like to be in love. LOVE is a dive into the hearts of teenagers."
