Reality behaves strangely in Frédéric Murarotto’s photographs.
A woman smoking beneath a “NO SMOKING” sign.
A portrait that feels serious for one second and absurd the next.
Nothing fully breaks. That’s what makes it unsettling.
Based in Paris and deeply influenced by cinema, Murarotto creates images that sit somewhere between accident and choreography. His photographs feel like scenes from a film that forgot to explain itself - fragments where humor, discomfort, elegance, and absurdity quietly collide.
You keep searching the frame for logic. The frame keeps refusing to give it to you.
And slowly, the ordinary starts feeling suspicious.

« J’aime pas parler de mes photos »
J’ai donc arrêté — et j’en ai fait un projet de livre.
J’ai donc demandé à d’autres de choisir une image et de dire ce qu’elle leur évoque, sans contrainte.
