Boulevard of Crime
Francesca Minini is pleased to present Simon Dybbroe Møller solo exhibition Boulevard of Crime with a text by Contemporary Art Writing Daily.
Boulevard of Crime
It can hardly be coincidental that the first photograph of human beings depicts a power relationship; a person kneeling in front of another; one man having his leather shoes polished by another man in an otherwise deserted city: proto-photographic shutter technology favored the transaction. Simon Dybbroe Møller instrumentalizes this 1838 daguerreotype of a Parisian street, to speak about the interdependence of photographic images and control, the housing crisis, identity and capital. The appearance of gas lamps on the Grands Boulevards of Paris earned it the nickname The City of Light. This show offers a different sort of clarity. In the Boulevard of Crime scaled down cast iron streetlamps light up a series of photographs that play with the very conventions of modern image making.
