Photobooth #16
Memphis
LE CITADIUM
56 rue de Caumartin

> M° Havre-Caumartin
If Memphis were told to me…
But what is it really about?
An italian industrial design movement from the 80s, or a song by Bob Dylan?
A brash marriage of cheap materials and overpriced recycled plastic.
Stainless steel, aluminum, wood, laminate, topan..
One could say many things about this booth,
adorned with egyptian symbols against a starry sky, plastic roman paving, and holy mountains.
An unlikely mix of styles, certainly… A crack in the FotoAutomat design, maintained as if to put an end to good taste.
Here is the photobooth of summer 2024… full of doubts and visions.
“Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again”.
