Produced in 2011 and 2012, Ici prochainement is a project that transposes reality from everyday city life into an aesthetic of computer graphics, which aims to showcase high-quality real estate projects. The presence of the local residents calls attention to their singularity, their paths, and their relationship with their surroundings. The frame leaves place for writing on the walls, laundry hung out to dry, windows, abandoned objects, trash—everything that bears witness to a civilization that has left its mark on the place that it inhabits. The emergence of a concrete memory of places contradicts the universal and potential value of images. This work continues in the vein of a previous series, Downtown Corrida (2009-2010), with its representation of urban habitats in public spaces (with political, media, commercial and social representations, and so on). The series Ici prochainement will be on display at the Salon de Montrouge from May 14 to June 12, 2013. Alban Lécuyer, 36, lives in Nantes, France.
