| Manolo Chretien Manolo Chretien is fascinated by our modern world in constant movement. Cars, planes, trains, cargos - we have created fantastic machines to accelerate time, but they might have superseded human beings. They have become an absolute necessity to execute any daily activity, their manufacturing is central to the economy, their possession is fundamental to political and military power. These metal objects are the prism of human ambition, the mirrors of our illusions. Manolo Chretien's photographies are images of these metal objects in which we like to contemplate our humanity. Using an innovative technique of print on aluminum, the artist makes his pictures metal objects too - through which we are invited to reflect on our destiny. | |  'I heard him' by Manolo Chretien |
