{"product_id":"9782915173703","title":"Cedric Delsaux: Dark Lens","description":"\u003cp\u003eJabba the Hut lurks in the shadows of a decrepit, abandoned warehouse, his toady eyes glowing; Boba Fett looms up from the fluorescent glare of an indoor car park, poised to kill; Yoda peers out inquiringly from the window ledge of some otherwise untenanted institutional building; Han Solo's cryogenically frozen form on a slab stands, installed bizarrely in an anonymous concrete plaza. Of the many scenarios to which \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e fans have dispatched the films' protagonists over the years, none—not even Seth McFarlane's \u003ci\u003eFamily Guy\u003c\/i\u003e homages—are as unlikely as Cédric Delsaux's. In \u003ci\u003eDark Lens\u003c\/i\u003e, Delsaux transports Darth Vader and the whole gamut of \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e iconography to a post-apocalyptic, urban-suburban landscape of endless parking lots, highrises and wasteland interzones, vacant of ordinary human life. Delsaux's “mythology of banality” (as he describes it) produces images that are not just funny or preposterous, but also weirdly compelling; in their photographic plausibility they successfully incorporate \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e into an everyday reality that we can all recognize, but in ways that make both worlds seem strangely real and absurdly false. Delsaux's \u003ci\u003eDark Lens\u003c\/i\u003e will captivate both film and photobook fans alike with its fantastically bizarre recasting of \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e on planet Earth after the apocalypse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Éditions Xavier Barral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034986266864,"sku":"9782915173703","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782915173703_p0.jpg?v=1763710124","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782915173703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
