About the Item

SPACE IPSUM Serie, edition of 8 prints on FUJI Crystal Archive glossy paper on aluminium, framed with lead sheets and reflect less glass by Ateliers David Gallardo. Signed and numbered. "Space Ipsum is a very different serie that I did when I spent a month on a boat on the Costa Brava in Spain. One day I was developing some films that I shot in the middle of the Mediterranean sea and when I was editing it, I accidently zoom in the water part of the picture and I saw that the reflections of the sunlight in the sea create kind of stars and even constellations. I decided to go back on the boat and spend a few days waiting for the sunset and shot thousands of reflections. After editing them, I was quite happy with the result of all these fake astronomy pictures. I ended up with these pictures illustrated with astronauts quotes. Actually, Space Ipsum is an online tool developed by the Nasa to generate filler text based on a database of historical space quotes. So, through the spellbinding aesthetic of the spatial conquest, the humanity phantasm, I tried to explore here one of the most essential theme about photography: the truth and the lie. What is the most important? The exact representation or the one that we always had in mind. The stars, even if we can admire them every night, stay for the most of us, unknown. With these fake astronomic pictures, I harnessed this unknown notion which let the freedom to the viewer to project himself where he wants. I guess there is a connection and an attempt to revived our heart of child, when our imagination came before the truth." Laurent Laporte, 2017
