David LaChapelle (*1963)
Early Fall, Los Angeles, ca. 2009
From the series »Earth Laughs in Flowers«
American photographer and video artist David LaChapelle became known for his hyper-realistic and colorful portraits of popular celebrities. In the series »Earth Laughs in Flowers« he explores the fragility of a society caught between vices and vanity in ten still lifes. The deliberately »un-harmonious« arrangement in the present art work combines gorgeous flowers and fruits with cell phones, PET bottles, and cigarette butts. The execution as perfectly photographed, large-format tableau underlines his message.
