The Last Republic

Are we living the last moments of the Fifth French Republic?

“The Last Republic” explores the fractures of a democracy in decline. The project paints a portrait of a France ravaged by social, political, and institutional crises that are undermining the foundations of the Fifth Republic established in 1958 by Charles de Gaulle’s government.

From street protests on the forgotten margins of the country to the faces of popular anger and signs of increasingly authoritarian power, each photograph bears witness to a silent shift. The project questions the symptoms of a regime that is transforming before our eyes, caught between democratic resilience and autocratic temptation.

Rather than a linear narrative, “The Last Republic” offers a fragmented journey through contemporary crises: social revolts, territorial divisions, police violence, political disillusionment. These scenes, when viewed together, paint a picture of a democracy falling apart, of a population that no longer believes in its government, raising the question of whether France is sliding toward another form of regime, authoritarian or not, but toward a weakened Republic.
