Aircraft

Next Nature

Aircraft is a project combining the field of the aviation industry as well as the conventions of the photography medium. Maxime Guyon meticulously dissects various "techno-species" with distinct aerial machinery fragments, leading us to an anthropological visual research. His series is composed of digital photographs of large-scale aerospace subjects, with a specific light treatment that replicates the codes of advertising photography.

Combining the principle of "form follows function" and our post-industrial era as well as its aesthetic, this project reopens a visual discussion that Le Corbusier first introduced in 1935 in his publication "Aircraft: The New Vision".

About the Author

Maxime Guyon is an artist and commercial photographer working in Paris. He contributed to the creation of the Master Photography program at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne in 2015 alongside Milo Keller and worked as a researcher for ECAL at the same time for the project called "Augmented Photography" in 2017. His work explores sculptural dimensions as well as the ubiquitous dematerialization within the medium of photography.
