What lies behind facades ? Nothing , at least in Gallic photographerZacharie Gaudrillot - Roy‘s world . His ongoing serial , Facades , depicts made - up towns where lone facades hide nothing , teeter on the edge of physics .
Gaudrillot - Roy say Gizmodo he was inspire by the empty facades of flick set . The series is based off of photographs he took in Montreal and the suburbs of France , which he than meticulously altered in Photoshop to subtract the buildings and add together a convincing background .
“ The façade is the first thing we see , it ’s the surface of a edifice It can be telling , superficial or good , ” he writes ( in broken English ) in an creative person ’s argument . “ Just like during a wandering through a foreign city , I take the air through the street with these dubiousness : what will happen if we stick to that first vision ? If the daily life of ‘ The Other ’ was only a scenery ? This serial publication thus offer up a vision of an unknown world that would only be a movie , without intimate space , with tone as the only refuge . ”
Perhaps what ’s most unsettling are the small and intimate details that seem like proof of mass living here : motorcar , motorcycle , a grillwork , even laundry hang out to dry out on the balcony . twin with the implausibly lean facades , they seem upset in their faithlessness .
