Indian urbanisation looks like a manufacture of dreams. In Gurgaon, the “Millenium City” southwest of New Delhi, real estate advertisement shows idealised representations of future buildings. Arthur Crestani met the inhabitants of this growing city and realised a work inspired by the traditional Indian itinerant studio. Surrounded by construction sites and new housing projects, the real setting to his photographs are, ironically, the advertising visuals. Passersby, workers, and rootless villagers are invited to pose in front of those romanticised representations of modern homes.
Arthur Crestani was born in 1991, he works and lives in Paris.
