About the Item
Laurent Chéhere, a French photographer born in 1972 in Paris, makes images of flying houses and other dwellings that are informed by his wanderings in the hidden neighborhoods of Paris and by his love of cinematic history. Most of his photographs carry references of forgotten stories, Parisian neighborhood and architecture and pay a tribute to classic movies, such as "The Red balloon" or “Who are you Polly Magoo” to name just a few. The charming manipulated images, part digital, part analog depict a dreamlike world where his reconstructed houses appear to float in the sky. They are poetic and whimsical and meant for the viewer to make his very own story.
About "Moon" by Laurent Chehere:
"I recreated the first film studio in France by Georges Méliès in 1897 in the suburb of Paris. Director, illusionist, inventor of many special effects, he has notably realized "the trip to the Moon" of Jules Verne. Ruined by the arrival of the First World War and the competition of major studios, he ended his life working in a toy store. I imagined that his studio had not been destroyed and that it was waiting for someone. I imagined that the history of Cinema was stored under the cobwebs of this Egyptian tomb. Closer, there are cameras, mask and costumes from all ages. Scorsese, Tarkowski, Kurozawa, Bresson, Visconti, Wenders, Mallick, Pollack, Godard, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Chaplin, Fellini, Fritz Lang are there ... under the dust. I pushed the detail by borrowing cameras coming from photos taken on the shooting of film."
