Until November 15th 2014, Galerie des Galeries is celebrating 25 years of ANDAM by inviting photographer Philippe Jarrigeon to exhibit his work. With “Grand Magasin” (“Department Store”, in French) he has created a series of images inspired by the place and people’s experiences of it.
Whether through still images, fanciful portraits of customers and staff, or facetious group pictures, he reinterprets 15 of the most iconic past laureates of ANDAM (National Association for the Development of the arts of Fashion), including Maison Martin Margiela, Christophe Lemaire, Véronique Leroy, Jean Touitou (APC ), Viktor & Rolf, Jeremy Scott, BLESS, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, Yazbukey, Gareth Pugh, Giles Deacon, Anthony Vaccarello, Yiqing Yin, Julien David and AMI – Alexandre Mattiussi. In this project, Philippe Jarrigeon recreates an ideal department store and illustrates 25 years of fashion history in a festive and unique setting.
Philippe Jarrigeon was born in France in 1982. He studied at the Cantonal Art School of Lausanne (ECAL), a prestigious academy at the intersection of multiple forms of art, which led him from industrial design to photography. In 2008, two years after graduation, he was selected by the International Festival of Fashion and Photography of Hyères. Accustomed to working in very different contexts, from brand orders to exhibitions and the artistic direction of his magazine Dorade, revue galante, photographie et formes critiques, Philippe Jarrigeon surrounds himself with fashion designers, visual artists, graphic designers or architects in order to bring his projects to life. A prominent figure in contemporary photography, he has developed an iconography rooted in the history of art, focusing in particular on the devices and special effects used by surrealists, mixed with 1990s’ imagery. In his studio, he creates installations that bristle with objects, people, animals, materials and flashy colors. In his portraits, still lifes and fashion shoots, precise framing underscores the humor or irony of his perspective. At just 30, Philippe Jarrigeon has produced multiple pictures which confirm his critical, unique vision of style and fashion
