DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022
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.
