Bianco Ordinario is nominated for the Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards 2025!!! @aperturefnd @parisphotofair Hélène Bellenger's project draws its inspiration from the marble quarries of Carrara, nestled in the heart of the Apuan Alps in Italy. Sculpted for centuries for their exceptionally high-quality white marble, highly sought after by artists and designers, these quarries are now overexploited for the extraction of marble powder, pure calcium carbonate. She has assembled a collection of consumer products containing calcium carbonate, which she uses to print directly onto the reverse sides of packaging cartons. The luxurious and imperial imagery of marble statuary is thus reproduced on small packages, alongside a selection of landscapes shaped over centuries by the intensive exploitation of Carrara marble. Both precious and unique, yet ephemeral and disposable, these images—whose forms vary according to the products—compose a typology of industrial shapes, questioning their materiality and place within the consumerist flow. Many thanks @helenebellenger for publishing your project with The Light Observer✨ @michelpoivert , @helenesoumare , @ricacerbarano , thanks for the inspiring texts! @cpif_ , @fedrigoni.paper , @fedrigonifrance , @regionbourgognefranchecomte , your support was decisive. Finally, thanks to all the jury for selecting Bianco Ordinario! The book will be on display at Paris Photo, from November 13th to 16th and is available on our website - thelightobserver.com - and through our distributor: Les Presses du Réel. @l_pd_r
