On the Seine







Tourist boats on the Seine, scanned and distorted. Attempts to create a surrealistic sensation reminiscent of the boat trip in the 1971 psychedelic masterpiece that was 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.
The poor quality of the images give the tourists trigger-happily photographing the banks of the river, cameras raised high, the impression of hands help up in terror or exhilaration. Rollercoaster of the Seine.

Frames





Metal grids found in Paris in botanical creeper supports and an excellent modernist chair frame.

Patterns of Paris




      


 




Patterns seen in Paris: the stained glass windows at the Château de Vincennes Chapel / Particle board & the ornate doors of Notre Dame / the grid within a grid covering a well / marble facade outside of a special wine bar / large dappled folios holding posters everywhere / a slab of marble as a table top at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs

Paris through the blinds with furniture - a series




Paris on film - inside Musée des Arts Décoratifs, photographing the Tuileries through the sheer blinds, creating the effect of an interior projection of outside. Ash peers through the blinds to capture an unobstructed shot. Art Nouveau furniture quietly fills the foreground. 
The framing, narrative and diffused light have such a cinematic quality. 
Images to be converted into slide film and projected somewhere which isn't Paris. Because even though this is Paris, it doesn't really feel like it.
