The idea of « a society in which every person receives a guaranteed income » was mentioned the first time in 1516 by Thomas Moore in his book "Utopia".
Since then, many politicians & economists have supported this utopia : a welfare system that guaranteed all citizens a certain income.
In these particular Covid-19 times, the debate over the application of the "Universal Basic Income" is knowing a new effervescence. Many countries around the world are establishing direct financial aids for people who lost their jobs and who are struggling for a living, giving the Utopia of the Universal Basic Income some reality, without saying it or maybe without knowing it ! 

My contribution for the BienalSur: a short documentary about the life-changing Universal Basic Income called "Universal Basic Life"
Shot between Canada, Morocco, France and Argentina, i will ask people what they would do if they receive a Universal Basic Income.
- how this will change their life ? the way they eat ? the way they work ? the time they’ll spend with their their family, etc ?
- if they choose to leave their current job, what they will do : a new job ? study ? arts ? Volunteering ?
This short documentary based mainly about testimonials of people from 3 continents is an another way to answer to this fundamental question : « How can an Utopia change your Life ? »
On the other hand, I will do a photography series of the people featured in the documentary with a little hint of their "ideal-self" post-UBI.
