American fantasy di Franck Bohbot

  • 15 December 2017
  • Laura Malaterra

Le case a Dyker Heights, quartiere a sud-ovest di Brooklyn, fotografate da Franck Bohbot per il suo progetto American Fantasy risplendono di quell’aura magica che ci fa volare nelle favole luminose dove Babbo Natale arriva dal cielo con la slitta trainata dalle renne.

 Franck Bohbot, fotografo autodidatta nato in Francia ma dal 2013 trasferitosi a New York, ha cristallizzato in immagini brillanti di luci natalizie la quintessenza del kitsch, quel fenomeno estetico e sociale che nel lontano 1968 Gillo Dorfles celebrò in un suo famoso saggio.

Bohbot ha catturato quell’atmosfera fiabesca luminescente utilizzando una lunga esposizione e un obiettivo grandangolare, riuscendo ad immortalare la sentita competizione americana che si innesca nel vicinato quando le feste si avvicinano.

Così ha scritto di American Fantasy Kelly Richman sul New York Times:

“The result is both a study of this paradox and a poignant reminder that, when Christmas is over and routine resumes, Dyker Heights is – and will always be – a residential neighborhood whose streets shed no light after dark.”

Dyker Heights, American Fantasy #3, Brooklyn, NY, December, 2014
