Axel Morin: GSM

An archive of Parisian "urban poetry," as seen through the lens of several generations of iPhones

This volume presents a digital library of the contemporary world, shot by French fashion photographer and director Axel Morin (born 1986). He was immersed in art from an early age, and its influence continues in his work and life today. His practice straddles the fine art and commercial worlds, and includes photography, collage, painting and video. The influence of his years as an art director can be sensed today in his highly developed approach to light and space.
Morin has developed a poetic storytelling of all the micronarratives of the city, using bold compositions with a contemporary vision. This work is a fresh look at our environment from a renowned young creator who has already collaborated with the most iconic luxury brands in the world, such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, kenzo, ALAïA, Saint Laurent and Nina Ricci.
