Laurent Chehere
Muriel Guépin Gallery83 Orchard St, NYC
Laurent Chehere is a French photographer and was born in Paris in 1972. Chehere's work is comparable to surrealist styles since he uses real-life subjects within a fictional context. His process involves photographing buildings and reconstructing them in Photoshop. His work is intended to uncover the aesthetic value and forgotten stories of the depicted buildings. The prints exhibited by the Muriel Guépin Gallery in New York City showcased five new flying houses of the iconic collection.

His exhibition "Flying Houses" reflects his interest in the suburban, urban, and rural living spaces. Specifically, "Flying Houses" is inspired by poverty-stricken neighborhoods in Paris and by movies such as "Howl's Moving Castle" and "The Red Balloon". His prints consist of buildings separated from their environmental location and suspended in air.
