Martin d'Orgeval........TOUCHED BY FIRE

Martin d'Orgeval

TOUCHED BY FIRE

Editions Steidl

146 pages

 

On February 1, 2008 at 5 a.m., a fire ripped through the historic entomology and taxidery shop in the heart of Paris, DEYROLLE.

 

 Open since 1831, their collections of thousands of butterflies, rare insects, stuffed animals from all over the world and minerals conserved by this world renowned institution were at best singed or at worst reduced to ashes. Butterfly wings are fire resistant.

 

 

 These photographs testifies to the return of the natural process of fading and destruction that awaits all creatures. A process that was interrupted by man in his attempt to stop time.

 

 

 Martin d'Orgeval was born in 1973 in Paris, where he lives and works.

Currently on exhibition at the 

SOME/THINGS Gallery

 16, Villa Gaudelet

By appointment.

SARKOZY........ Living in Style Paris

LIVING IN STYLE PARIS
Edited by Caroline Sarkozy

Interior designer Caroline Sarkozy's (yes, they are related) new book, LIVING IN STYLE PARIS, takes us into the living quarters of Paris' most stylish homes of exceptional and rare beauty.

Opening doors of never before seen apartments and houses of Lenny Kravitz, By Terry, Jacques Grange, Diane von Furstenberg and many more.

Paris, filled with unique museums and historical monuments, cradles so much talent. Thus we discover in these homes, the same wealth of French creativity.

The French art of living mixes traditions and influences. These confidential residences, with an air of sobriety, simple elegance and discrete refinement awakens one's curiosity and visual sense.

Similar to the French poet Verlaine describing the flawless French women; never completely the same, and never completely different. Each through their taste and inspiration, these Parisian homes have created singular and spectacular refuges.

 YVES SAINT LAURENT

Spring/Summer 1967

Growing up in Jamaica as a young boy, an article by Time Magazine, brought Parisian Haute Couture to Kingston.

Inspired by the master couturier, who created the foundations to modern day dressing, I decided that Paris and fashion was my calling.
