AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Format 50X50 Unframed,
Thought of as a travel notebook page, the work starts from an original photograph by Ben Dauchezzt onto which elements are added that extend and transform the image. These interventions compose a narrative between memory, observation and imagination. In an orientalist-inspired approach, the photograph thus becomes the support for a personal evocation of travel, where reality blends with daydream.
Format 50X50 Unframed,
Ben Dauchez works his original photograph like a travel notebook page. Inscriptions, graphic motifs and fragments of documents overlay the image, enriching the scene with traces and suggested tales. The blacks, ochres and patinated reds evoke a material marked by time.
Of orientalist inspiration, this composition mixes photographic gaze and travel imagination. Through a play of accumulations and erasures, it transforms the captured moment into a recomposed memory, where reality meets dream.
Enthusiastic about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the whole set of basics of classic technique, from shooting to retouching via the laboratory. At 22, fresh out of school, he moved to Paris to complete his training by becoming a stage assistant for the Daguerre studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir and Studio Zéro. He had the chance to collaborate with and assist some of the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From some decisive encounters would spring beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sulfureous exhibition INRI and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).
His photos are published, among others, by Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His world also interests brands with very different identity codes for which he has signed the creation of Institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris or Burger King (Advertising awarded at Dubai Lynx).
Ben DAUCHEZ has also produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, world men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize human beauty, aesthetics and the spiritual dimension of each personality.
