‘Huitres, Coquillages et Crustaces’ from ‘If Only These Walls Could Talk ‘
Oh, but for the joys of meandering through corridors and spaces once trodden by the greats of art, culture, music, entertainment and literature. If only the walls in these unpretentious spaces could talk …
My foray to the iconic Nord-Pinus hotel in Arles in search of the ‘Sublime Feminine’ and its poetic manifestation, occurred in Autumn of 2021, centred around photography and post-pandemic creative escapism. Chasing iconic spirits, with Suite 10 featuring high on my wish list. This particular room overlooks the Place du Forum, a room sanctified in contemporary photographic history by Helmut Newton’s soul-stirring 1973 shoot with Charlotte Rampling, the very same suite in which famed bullfighters (like Dominguin) geared-up for a date with fate.
