Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1
This first archival book represents much more than a simple compilation of images. This book embodies, on the one hand, an attempt to present my thematic work in a tangible and chronological manner, but also to observe an evolution over the volumes. It is an authentic dive into my universe, at the heart of street culture, far from tourist clichés, approaching its dark, intangible side, often invisible, sometimes hidden, or masked by the indifference of society. On the other hand, this book was born from the desire to pay tribute to all the people who crossed my path, with whom I shared rare, sometimes intimate moments, and who nourished my thoughts on crucial themes.
Beyond simple visual capture, my objective is to lead the viewer to transcend clichés and familiar street scenes to foster a deeper understanding of different cultures and lifestyles, particularly on the issue of disadvantaged neighborhoods. My photographs aspire to raise awareness, educate and encourage intercultural dialogue by highlighting differences, while breaking down stereotypes that can surround these communities.
The photographs in this volume were taken in France, the USA, the UK, and Italy between 2022 – 2023.
Spanning continents and decades, “Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1” is a testament to my passion for exploration and his unwavering commitment to his craft. Whether capturing the majestic beauty of chaos or the subtle nuances of everyday life, my photographs resonate with depth and authenticity as I let the street speak, and I just document what I see.
The book also provides insight into my creative process, offering behind-the-scenes glimpses and commentary on select images. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I invite readers into my world, inviting them to see the world as it is. For me, nothing’s more interesting than reality.
