Laurent Chehere: Flying Houses
Something about de-contextualizing an everyday object makes it quite interesting. These houses in the sky are the work of Laurent Chehere.

I guess everyday objects get that way from being seen around the place every day, always good to see them in a new light!
For me, that first one looks a McDonald’s in a prison tower and the last house appears to be wearing a monocle. In fact, the first one is baffling me. It looks both huge and tiny. Is that a gigantic window or what?

Yes, that is an odd location for a McDonald’s sign. And now I notice the monocle!

I’m in heaven. No neighbors and too hard for others to stop by for a visit

Houses should be equipped with a button that enables them to take off at opportune moments.

the strangest thing about these pictures is the one with the birds. The birds look closer to us than the house looks and they are from a different angle so that gives it a more anti-real look than the fact that the buildings are floating.

Good point. I hadn’t thought of it that way.
