{"product_id":"eloise-labarbe-lafon-american-album","title":"Eloïse Labarbe-Lafon - American Album","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Album is a book of photographs taken on the road, chronicling a romantic odyssey across the United States at a time when the American Dream seems to be crumbling. It is a journey in which the protagonists chase after something elusive while fleeing an undefined reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs they flee, the landscapes flash by, similar yet ever-changing, like endlessly repeating papier-mâché backdrops. Hotel rooms, diners with empty plates, colorful houses, desert landscapes—a frantic accumulation of frozen moments, like a compulsive cataloging of a desire to freeze the ephemeral, an irrepressible need to capture everything, to classify everything. But beyond the fantasy, everything is in flux. The settings fade away, invert; the quest seems to come to an end only to slip away again, in a grand whirl, a gentle storm where landmarks dissolve. In a dazzling, artificial America, the lovers leap from one film to another without ever finding their way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil paint applied to the black-and-white photographs accentuates this oscillation between reality and illusion. Sometimes faithful, sometimes dissonant, it reinterprets the world, giving each image a new dimension. Between gentleness and tension, between quest and desire, American Album captures that suspended moment, just before everything changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographs: Eloïse Labarbe-Lafon\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Direction: Chloé Bédoc\u003cbr\u003eGraphic Design: Atelier Garnier Araguas\u003cbr\u003eTexts: Ryder The Eagle \u0026amp; Maeva Dubrez\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Translation: Alys Hale \u0026amp; Adrien Cassignol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19.5 x 26 cm\u003cbr\u003e208 pages\u003cbr\u003eFrench \/ English\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-2-493745-09-1\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: September 12, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© Cé Editions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yvon Lambert Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58753359839580,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/4913\/8498\/files\/01_f4ded9ac-4faa-498d-b7ac-42f6c550dd5f.jpg?v=1787325686","url":"https:\/\/www.yvon-lambert.com\/products\/eloise-labarbe-lafon-american-album","provider":"Yvon Lambert Paris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
