Las Vegas has been added to the This is Not a Map collection, those perfectly useless maps celebrating the meeting of a photographer and a place.
Printed on original paper, these fake Michelin maps combine the pleasure of the cartographic object with the pleasure of the photographic image, taking readers on a seductive narrative journey. After Texas and Las Vegas, Orlando is the third entry in this series and presents a photographic ballad by Jean-Christophe Béchet.
Born in Marseille in 1964, Béchet has been based in Paris since 1990. He studied economics and photography before spending two year in West Africa from 1988 to 1990. Combining black-and-white and color, film and digital, 24×36 and medium format, polaroids and photograph “accidents,” for each project Béchet tries to find the “right tool,” the one that will allow him to bring an interpretation of the real into dialogue with a photographic subject.
