Book and photographic exhibition.

We also propose editorial projects in which companies and institutions may participate and for which they have exclusive rights.

A combination of a both indoor and outdoor exhibition could also work well, with "calicots" from the big "ethnies" or from the "grandes civilisations" displayed outdoors and a wider selection of the smaller formats (32×42cm for example)  displayed indoors.
  1 & Multiple


A hymn to life, Frédéric de La Chapelle’s photographic work celebrates human diversity. Ethnicities, civilizations and cultures mix in a tableau overflowing with vitality.


Ticor, the sole model used for all the photographs in this book, symbolizes at once our profound similarities as well as our multiple differences. Through changes in makeup and accessories, she captures our different faces yet blurrs our points of reference: ethnicities dissolve, civilizations become hybrid, cultures intercross in this great history of humanity.

Punctuated by texts that put in perspective the contributions of all cultures to the history of humanity, the photographs are illustrated by poems from authors of every country and every age.
 

Inspired by the hair and make-up artist Gaspard Desruenne, the jewelry and accessory designer Laurent Salvy, by the keen eye of Frédéric de La Chapelle and, of course, by its protagonist Ticor, this work of art blends spontaneity with reflection and seriousness with fantasy. It carries us through time and space, from the cradles of humanity to the lands of migration, yet always reminding us of the present moment.
