Charles de Vaivre
A grandfather who made films.
A child handling celluloid, turning cameras over in his hands.
It begins there.
Design first, at Strate College. Composition, line, frame.
Then photography. He comes to it as a painter would: slowly, weighing every light.
New York, seen from above. Hanging gardens no one sees from the street. New York Rooftop Gardens is published by teNeues.
He settles in New York. Architects and designers entrust him with their spaces, and he makes them speak. His own series enter galleries and travel across the United States.
Then Hong Kong. A vertical city, without pause. From it he draws a vast series, welcomed by galleries and major cultural events.
Today, Ultra Blue.
The exact moment stillness tips into movement.
The point where the real becomes abstraction.
Alongside, always, the architects and the designers.
Two practices, a single gaze.
