Aero

In his Aero series Manolo CHRÉTIEN puts sky on honor. It reflects on the aircrafts hulls, turning them into bright mirrors. The rivet holders and the fuselage draw lines that tend to abstraction, sometimes only a number or an inscription allow to guess that it is an aircraft body. The reflection theme shows also through the materials used. Indeed, Manolo CHRÉTIEN prints his photos on aluminum plates, brushed and anodized, normally used to build planes. Thus, the prints interact also with the ambient light. They also change according to the spectator point of view.
