Uncanny fictions in still life by Matthieu Lavanchy and Jonas Marguet for Verities Magazine

Date
11 June 2012

Photography and art direction duo Matthieu Lavanchy and Jonas Marguet have joined forces once again for the latest Muse issue of Verities magazine. Theirs is a visual essay which, as is their way, tells a strange fiction concocted between objects and colour and set in a hyper-surreality. The extraordinary appeal in the images lies in the close association they have with meticulously observed still life paintings and/or a noir, Lynch-ian set piece. Both of which pose cinematic intrigue about the precise meaning of their composition and sequence but, for the most part, are just spectacularly aesthetic.
