At 1/35 scale, Simon Laveuve’s meticulously crafted miniature constructions (beforehand) reveal troves of clues about every dwelling’s absent occupants. From colourful bunting strung between posts to framed photos, Laveuve’s eccentric buildings seem in a spread of states of use in an imagined post-apocalyptic future.

In “Promesse En Solitaire,” or “solitary promise,” a hat just lately deserted on a patio chair suggests the ramshackle island residence is frequently inhabited. However, in “Ici La Paix” (“here is peace”) a multileveled construction suffers the consequences of time and decay, as moss creeps up the partitions and rebar hangs from partly-demolished flooring.

Laveuve additionally attracts on his personal experiences rising up in Paris, the place quite a few cultures meet. He recollects dwelling on the sting of the thirteenth arrondissement, the place Chinese language, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian cultures are current within the outlets and delicacies. “With ‘Daikichi,’ I wanted to transcribe this heritage,” the artist says. “The Asian district of Paris is a monument of Île-de-France that never ceases to inspire me… I deliberately mixed genres and cultures to merge shapes, colors, and to tell this story.”
