Les Boudeuses
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper
Photographed in a Parisian apartment prior to its renovation, this new series of photographs by duo The Heidies mirrors the aesthetic and mood of its retro setting. The series—Les Boudeuses / Foraine / Montdor—follows a figure (dancer Caroline Denervaud) as she interacts with the neutral color palette of the 1950s decor with bright color and dance-like movements. As with every Heidies shoot, the duo — Denervaud and photographer Pascaline Dargant — enter a location without preconceptions, letting the inspiration of the moment take over. In this rented apartment seemingly frozen in time, the wallpapers became hiding places and playgrounds — the basis of the duo’s creative expression. The resulting work is suggestive and playful and an exciting extension to the artists’ oeuvre.

BOBBY BERK ON THE HEIDIES
“Sometimes, I really want my art to be playful and sophisticated, and this piece by The Heides is just that. It draws you in and makes you think, while also feeling very graphic and visceral at the same time.”
