HOTEL ADVERTS I/II/III
by Elena Sohmen

Model: Amel Baccouche
Studio assistant: Simon Brommene
Description:
Size: A1
Material: Three A1 images printed on Gloss271gsm photo paper and framed in stainless steel advertising frames.
These 3 A1 images framed in an advertising frame, typical of hotels, are a satire on advertising. We turned it into a non-binary person, a styling made by the photographer, a model doing their own make-up, erratic poses, exposed nipples and empty looks.
This work is a hybrid between the advertisements of the hotel chains, which seem to come out of a dystopian, empty and plastic universe and on the other hand the decorative images that you can find in a hotel room in which there are often women with an empty look that seem more like a vase than a human being.
Trying to turn decorative images into art by changing it own meaning and rules.
When I started taking pictures years ago, my first photo session was at a studio since there I haven't been on a studio again, wanted to come back home photograpically by doing these pictures.
