First day. Shanghai. Pudong
Travelling in black & white
Photography exhibition by Christophe Dolhem
The Framers Gallery Nov 24 – 29, 2014
Christophe’s Debut London Show featuring his intimate and very personal
photographs documenting his life and worldwide travels.
These photographs have been taken in London, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai,
Aeolian Islands and other places around the world. Although these areas
differ in many respects – not least geographically – the photographs align
themselves through a common feature, which can be attributed to their
style and aesthetic expression.
The pictures contain a keynote characterised by the searching melancholic’s
experience of life, which means that the strong sense of being present in
place and time simultaneously involves a vein of loss.
This exhibition includes 14 large and 5 medium-sized photographs
– and will be exhibited at The Framers Gallery Nov 24 – 29, 2014

About the photographer
Christophe Dolhem belongs to the photographers who sees the beautiful and
evocative in life – even in the most mundane things and events. With an eye
for abstraction, he creates images with a dreamlike clarity. Here one can find
gardens run wild, views from windows, deserted rooms and other places full
of atmosphere. Towns shrouded in darkness or beaches bathing in light, but
also people whose gestures and charisma direct one’s thoughts to characters
of the literary world. Christophe is Traveling a lot for his job as a designer
and his pictures take us to different parts of the world. If one looks at several
photographs at the same time, a diary-like characteristic appears.
The transience lends the photographs a touch of melancholy, something
which their rich grey scale often helps to accentuate.
Christophe works mostly in black and white and sometimes in color but
entirely analog which is part of his creative process.
Most of the pictures are taken with his cherished Nikormat, and Nikon F
M2 using 50 mm 80 mm and 200 mm lenses.
––
Born in France, educated in Sweden (art history, graphic design and art
Direction), Christophe is also a designer .Truly passionate by aesthetics, people
and culture he is the founder of Dolhem Design, a multidisciplinary design
agency founded in Stockholm 1998, working with a select group of brands and
companies from offices in Stockholm, London and Shanghai
