Les Choux Half Frame Diptych. Créteil, France. 2018 - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

This constructed photographic diptych is part of my half-frame photography series. The half frame camera was common in the 1960's and placed two 24 X 18mm images into the space of a traditional 24 X 36mm format. Although largely forgotten today, when used creatively they offer a unique way to tell a photographic story. This image was constructed by taking two pictures of Les Choux apartment buildings in the outskirts of Paris. Considered one of the best examples of Brutalist Architecture from the 1970s, this half frame diptych tranforms this modern architectural wonder into a modern photographic interpretation. The half-frame format works perfectly here to create a visual world of its own. There is a certain dupicity from one frame to the next and images but also intriguing juxtaposition that is part of the charm of these constructions, and something that holds the viewers attention. 1 of 10 signed exhibition quality prints, personally printed by master printer Ryan Boatright on the highest quality papers (Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl) at the Atelier Boba () in Paris France.
