Doppelgänger is a visual insight into people who have imaginary friends.
“The ‘imaginary friend’ syndrome is an overactive imagination disorder. It
consists in creating a reassuring mental companion in order to cope with
a troubling situation. Imaginary friends can last until adulthood and may
then reveal a deep sorrow.

Julie de Waroquier is a self-taught French photographer, also philosophy teacher, who started photography in 2008. Since 2010, she has distinguished herself by winning several national and international awards, including the International Emerging Artist Award. Her photographs are regularly exhibited, and were notably showcased at the Rencontres d’Arles.
