Description from the seller

Bauhaus Maroc Series

-Title Maroc #2 Medina
- Fine Art Edition 30x45 Signed and numbered 1/20
- Certificate of Authenticity

Fusion of two worlds: Multi-exposure allows overlaying these two universes — the formal rigor of Bauhaus and the sensory and historical richness of Morocco. Perhaps the clean lines of Bauhaus interlace with Moroccan architectural motifs, such as arches, mosaics, and textures of rammed earth or stone walls. This fusion creates a kind of visual dialogue between modernity and tradition.

Conceptual approach: The use of multi-exposure can also symbolize the interaction between the past and the present, between modern and traditional architecture. Morocco, rich in cultural symbols, could be seen here as a testing ground to transpose Western Bauhaus concepts into a more Eastern, even Mediterranean, context.

Play of light and color: The contrast between the sharp shadows of Bauhaus and the warm, diffused colors typical of Morocco (ochres, reds, blues, and oranges) could be enhanced. This could offer a poetic dimension where each superimposed image evokes a sense of movement, transformation, and immersion in a hybrid space between the Orient and the Occident.

The impact of multi-exposure:

Temporalities and spatialities
: By superimposing several moments or spaces, the multi-exposure technique could also suggest a temporal experience, as if traveling through different eras or different perceptions of Morocco. This play on time and space echoes the notions of fluidity and transition in Bauhaus culture, while drawing on the multiple layers of meaning and history that Morocco embodies.

Cultural and aesthetic duality: Finally, this work could express a reflection on the relationships between Western and Eastern cultures, between European functionalism of Bauhaus and the sensuality of Moroccan forms. Multi-exposure can create an atmosphere where the two worlds are not opposed but interconnected within the same artistic vision.

Pas sione par la photographie dès son plus jeune âge, Ben DAUCHEZ a débuté dans les studios de quartier de La Rochelle. Il y a acquis l'ensemble des bases de la photographie de la technique classique, à la prise de vue et la retouche en passant par le laboratoire. A 22 ans, fraîchement diplômé, il part s’installer à Paris pour parfaire sa formation en devenant assistant de plateaux pour les studios Daguerre, le Petit Oiseau va sortir et le Studio Zéro. Il a eu la chance de collaborer et d’assister alors les photographes des plus talentueux : Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... De certaines rencontres déterminantes naîtront de beaux projets et de longues collaborations, notamment avec André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (l'exposition sulfureuse INRI et son livre éponyme aux Editions Albin Michel) et Peter BEARD (calendrier Pirelli 2009 au Botswana).
Ses photos sont publiées, entre autres, dans les Editions Condé Nast (françaises et internationales), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... Son univers intéresse également des marques aux codes identitaires très différents pour lesquelles il a signé la réalisation de campagnes Institutionnelles et/ou publicitaires telles que Dior (beauté), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris ou encore Burger King (Publicité récompensée au Dubai Lynx).

Ben DAUCHEZ a également réalisé de nombreux portraits de célébrités (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) de beauté, d'hommes du monde (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) et de voyageurs...
Cette voie photographique lui permet depuis lors d'immortaliser en toute liberté la beauté humaine, esthétique et spirituelle de chaque personnalité."} )
