My chair

– February 12, 2005

I worked as a producer for my former press agency (Sipa Press) who made a photographer fly from Paris to cover several topics. One of them was about the textile industry in China. As he was shooting in the factory, I took the opportunity to shoot the chairs the workers do sit on for around 8 hours a day… I put the series in a slideshow with the music ‘satisfaction’ by Carl Dawkins.

About Eric Leleu

I have been living in China as a photographer for a few years. My brain is obsessed by concepts such as authority, consumerism, capitalism, geopolitics, sociology or urbanity... In a word, I am interested in our contemporaries (you and I) and the world as it becomes. My focus is the dynamics of public spaces: the interrelationship between the authority, the crowd and the individual. As for my eye, it is looking for colors and intensity. My dream is simple: having a few of my photos living longer than me...
