Play

Filled with colors and tangy memories, PLAY, Philippe Jarrigeon’s first monograph, celebrates 15 years of a photography that is deliciously deviant. The book gathers a collection of personal and editorial shots of mixed genres, between portraits, still lives and landscapes.

The title Play refers to both the playful nature of the work and the central role of the models, who act as the "stars" in staged scenes. Influenced by '90s pop culture, the book blends references from cinema and TV, from Clueless to Vertigo, with a cheeky sense of humor. The images, like a zapping session, contrast glam with the everyday, beauty with the bizarre, creating a visual parody of Hollywood’s Golden Age through the lens of modern pop culture.
