French photographer Zacharie Gaudrillot-Roy has an on-going series titled ‘Façades’ where he imagines a landscape populated by completely isolated building exteriors.
Devoid of their usual looming structures, the standalone façades have an absurd and slightly eerie, desolate feel.
According to Gaudrillot-Roy, “The facade is the first thing we see, it’s the surface of a building. It can be impressive, superficial or safe. Just like during a wandering through a foreign city, I walk through the streets with these questions: what will happen if we stick to that first vision? If the daily life of ‘The Other’ was only a scenery? This series thus offers a vision of an unknown world that would only be a picture, without intimate space, with looks as the only refuge.”
