Series – Luxe Mythology

by photographer Quang Lam

Category : Conceptual    Info : # Saigon, Vietnam # Paris, France # HongKong, China # 2013 - 2015

cities simulacrum object Hong Kong

Neons of luxury are glowing on the deserted avenue. The glass facades reflect the logos that spread their mystical light in the night, a continual desire generated by billions invested of advertising. From Paris to Saigon via Hong Kong, it flows throughout the journey with the same stage direction.

Evanescent statues are covered with shimmering costumes. In the halo of the alcoves, cult objects are offered by hands, almost graspable through the thin glass wall.

Many doors protect this paradise. To unlock them, a doll is the guide for this child’s play.

The moment of communion with the Brand is at this price: a short moment of physical contact, almost like the reality of a dream.

The return of the morning will clear the satisfaction and the desire will constantly renew from this vacuum.

Original Text in French

Les néons du luxe luisent sur l’avenue désertée. Les façades vitrées reflètent les logos qui délivrent dans la nuit leur lumière mystique, un désir continuel engendré par des milliards investis dans les messages publicitaires.

De Paris à Saigon en passant par Hong Kong, il se propage tout au long du voyage dans une même mise en scène Les statues évanescentes sont revêtues de costumes chatoyants. Dans le halo des alcôves, les objets cultes sont offerts par les mains, presque saisissables à travers la mince paroi de verre. De nombreuses portes protègent ce paradis.

Pour les franchir, une poupée sert de guide dans cette traversée qui se doit être un jeu d’enfant.

L’instant de communion avec la Marque est à ce prix : un moment de contact physique de courte durée, semblable à la réalité d’un rêve.

Le retour du matin effacera la satisfaction. Le désir se renouvellera sans cesse de ce vide.
