LOST FIGURES is a mesmerising photo series that drifts seamlessly between the whimsical charm of Jacques Tati and the surreal unease of David Lynch. It captures ephemeral moments, eerie stillness, and scenes poised between the cusp of action, forever lingering in the aftermath of an unspoken event.
Faces fade into the background as subjects pose with an unawareness that adds an enigmatic layer to each frame. Here, humour collides with discomfort and beauty, all under a canopy of uncertain light.
Frédéric Murarotto, a Paris-based photographer and journalist, skillfully unfolds poetic narratives that dance through both portraits and transient moments, infused with a distinct cinematic and absurdist edge. In a realm suspended between the worlds of Tati and Lynch, he masterfully intertwines warm illumination with unexpected juxtapositions, inviting viewers into a surreal yet strangely familiar landscape where silence resonates with more significance than dialogue. His work is pictorial, playful, and whimsical, elegantly straddling the boundary between the mundane and the poetic, offering a vibrant, humorous lens on the tapestry of everyday life.
