According to Belmond, Thomas Rousset’s irreverent approach made him the perfect choice to showcase the extraordinary stories that lie behind Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a hotel in Oxfordshire, England. His photographs of this 15th-century manor house were inspired by his own imagination of the luxurious lifestyle of the English aristocracy and the unreal, fantastical aspect of countryside living as depicted in old British films. By placing ordinary objects and figures in bizarre contexts, he disrupts the viewers’ sense of reality, prompting them to reflect on what they are seeing. Rousset’s images create an intriguing visual narrative that goes beyond luxury and aesthetics.
