Cédric Delsaux’s Photographs of ‘Star Wars’ on Earth - NYTimes.com
But Mr. Delsaux swears that “Dark Lens” wasn’t born to pay homage to R2-D2, Luke Skywalker and their buddies. “My first intention wasn’t to produce a series on ‘Star Wars,’ but to photograph locations that are the makeup of our modernity: parking lots, peripheral zones, wastelands, forgotten places, of both beauty and ugliness, common and mad,” Mr. Delsaux said by e-mail. “Nevertheless, something was missing, my images were flat, déjà vu. I then had the idea to add these sci-fi characters, with the immediate effect of making my primal sensations stand out, the fantastical nature of the characters invading the whole frame, both universes harmoniously coming together.”
