Laurent Pons

France • 1969

Laurent Pons fuses the imaginary and the real by populating our cities with galactic legends—a photographic work where Star Wars meets urban elegance.

Biography

Born in 1969 in Nevers, Laurent Pons encountered the world of photography quite early. As a teenager, the "photographer" as he likes to call himself, discovered the possibilities of the camera and developed a taste for this art. Since then, the artist has made his passion his profession by becoming a graphic designer. He worked as an art director at Lintas in 1991 and at FKGB in 1993. His professional career is oriented towards the creation of film and theater posters and record covers. Thanks to his mastery of tools such as Photoshop, Pons develops his artistic side: he builds imaginary worlds where reality and fiction meet. Thus, we can rediscover the iconic places of each city inhabited by the characters of the Star Wars saga.

The Millennium Falcon flying over the Palais Longchamp, the Imperial Guard patrolling the streets of New York or R2-D2 visiting Paris... Laurent Pons highlights the beauty of each city by subtly inserting the cult heroes of the saga.
