Add to basketHardcover. Renowned for its expert restoration of iconic properties, the luxury hotel group Belmond is now collaborating with a select group of photographers to create a series of photographic works that respond to the unique character of each hotel and its surroundings.Roussets irreverent approach made him the perfect choice to showcase the extraordinary stories that lie behind Le Manoir aux QuatSaisons, a hotel in Oxfordshire, England. Roussets images of this 15th-century manor house were inspired by two distinct sources. Firstly, he drew on his own imagination of the luxurious lifestyle of the English aristocracy. Secondly, he was influenced by the unreal, fantastical aspect of the countryside lifestyle as depicted in old British films. By placing ordinary objects and figures in bizarre, dreamlike contexts, he disrupts the viewers sense of reality, prompting them to reflect on what they are seeing. His fairytale images are not simply a showcase for the amenities and aesthetics of the hotel; they tell a story, creating an intriguing visual narrative that encourages viewers to project themselves into these exquisite settings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
