Introducing the photography project by Al Sarcoli (MA Fashion Photography at the University for the Creative Arts). Based in the UK. Part 5: ROOMS!
ROOMS is a project about the concept of private life and how any hotel can be the metaphorical representation of the private rooms of a society.
The meaning of the private life can be found inside any hotel: a couple of elderly people, a father with his children, a young couple who has decided to spend the honeymoon in a hotel, someone who travel constantly from one point to another…
A hotel is a brief meeting point where human beings find peace of mind… An ephemeral peace of mind amidst the bustle of society.
Inspired by the sci-fi cinema of John Carpenter and David Cronenberg, I decided to add an abject element to break the harmony of the classical portrait. The abject, the shaving foam in this case, is something that we do not recognize as a thing because is not part of that quotidian universe.
The Adults Sisters
Two sisters, who have not seen each other for a long time, have decided to meet up in a hotel room to take a cup of coffee and have a conversation.
The Honeymoon Couple
A young couple has decided to spend the honeymoon in a hotel room to celebrate their mutual love.
The Lone Runner
A staff reduction expert rests thoughtfully on a bed after several plane trips. He would love to be playing golf right now.
The Family Man
A novice father is a bit overwhelmed by his new family situation. Something like that was not expected.
The Youth
Four teenage boys have decided to stay in a hotel room to explore their sexual awakenings. VHS and cassettes uphold the fun.
The Murder
A woman and a man meet in a room to make a transaction. Unexpectedly, the woman holds a gun and the man lies dead on the bed.
