The buildings that Francis Meslet has immortalised hang between life and death and radiate a silence that speaks volumes. Through these photographs, which seem to tell us an invaluable secret, he immortalises the splendour and decadence of a nation blessed with one of the richest heritages in Europe. By emphasising the fragile beauty of this heritage, the photographer invites us to think about how we can protect it so that it continues to resonate with future generations.

Autorenporträt
Francis Meslet a 1986 graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nancy, Francis Meslet worked as a designer before moving into Communications and joining the circuit of advertising agencies as Artistic Director. After spending 35 years tweaking the creative concept and autopsying decay in images, he is now Creative Director. Author, photographer, and passionate about heritage, architecture, and urban landscapes, Francis has travelled the world in his spare time, looking for abandoned places - shrines where time has stood still. He has brought back with him striking images, time capsules that pay tribute to a parallel universe ripe for reflection, setting the mind free to wander.
