The French photographer Marc Sommer offers us improbable images, distorted mirrors of our existence.
Turning resolutely away from computer photomontage, it is by means of patiently elaborated mechanical tricks that he manages to give his photos the surrealist atmosphere that characterizes them.
For him, photography is a family affair. It is with his father Richard, an experienced handyman, that he creates machinery and staging. He also relies on his son Froment, whom he makes his favourite model.
Marc Sommer is represented by the Esther Woerdehoff Gallery, Paris.
