STORY
The Park Central is an Art Deco hotel on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, built from Charlotte's own photographs of the hotel and its surroundings.
Using her signature multi layer photographic technique, Charlotte layers many of her own frames over the facade, kept straight and square, the way a film editor holds one shot and cuts the life of a scene around it.
A close up of the same facade is laid behind the hotel, slightly shifted. Its upper floors rise around the building, and its entrance comes back at the bottom, with the octagonal windows and the hotel's name a second time.
Pale palm leaves and a big sun fill the sky. At the bottom, more palms fall over the blue and white striped umbrellas and the people on loungers.
The building is what is there. The layers are what her mind kept.
This work is part of The Structural Series, Charlotte Fonne's Miami Art Deco hotels, where each facade stands still while the life of South Beach drifts around it. On Ocean Drive, when you face a hotel, the beach is behind you. Here you see both. It is curated by Lumas and represented across their nineteen international locations.
Each image in the composition is personally photographed by Charlotte, ensuring a genuine and unique piece. Signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
