Philippe Ramette’s gravity-free world

(plug generation)

The first thing that comes to mind when you look at one of his works is that something here isn’t quite right – it doesn’t add up! Philippe Ramette is a globe-trotting photographer who likes to reinvent reality by scrutinising the world from unpredictable perspectives. To chase after his vision he suspends himself in space, sits himself down comfortably on a chimney-pot, puts on stilts on a mountain top or organizes a balcony on the Indian Ocean. He is the “Magritte of film” inspired and influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Buster Keaton alike. Ramette creates irony and wonder through his contradictions of an upturned world as if viewed through the eyes of an eccentric child.
