Travelling in black & white

Photography exhibition by Christophe Dolhem

The Framers Gallery Nov 24 29, 2014

Christophes Debut London Show featuring his intimate and very personal

photographs documenting his life and worldwide travels.

These photographs have been taken in London, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai,

Aeolian Islands and other places around the world. Although these areas

differ in many respects not least geographically the photographs align

themselves through a common feature, which can be attributed to their

style and aesthetic expression.

The pictures contain a keynote characterised by the searching melancholics

experience of life, which means that the strong sense of being present in

place and time simultaneously involves a vein of loss.

This exhibition includes 14 large and 5 medium-sized photographs

and will be exhibited at The Framers Gallery Nov 24 – 29, 2014

About the photographer

Christophe Dolhem belongs to the photographers who sees the beautiful and

evocative in life – even in the most mundane things and events. With an eye

for abstraction, he creates images with a dreamlike clarity. Here one can find

gardens run wild, views from windows, deserted rooms and other places full

of atmosphere. Towns shrouded in darkness or beaches bathing in light, but

also people whose gestures and charisma direct one’s thoughts to characters

of the literary world. Christophe is Traveling a lot for his job as a designer

and his pictures take us to different parts of the world. If one looks at several

photographs at the same time, a diary-like characteristic appears.

The transience lends the photographs a touch of melancholy, something

which their rich grey scale often helps to accentuate.

Christophe works mostly in black and white and sometimes in color but

entirely analog which is part of his creative process.

Most of the pictures are taken with his cherished Nikormat, and Nikon F

M2 using 50 mm 80 mm and 200 mm lenses.

Born in France, educated in Sweden (art history, graphic design and art

Direction), Christophe is also a designer .Truly passionate by aesthetics, people

and culture he is the founder of Dolhem Design, a multidisciplinary design

agency founded in Stockholm 1998, working with a select group of brands and

companies from offices in Stockholm, London and Shanghai
