Concrete Mirages

Photographer Tom de Peyret went to Las Vegas during Donald Trump’s inauguration and photographed a city in near disuse. From the desert on which it was built, Las Vegas has retained its ochre and sandy tones. Yet today it is all asphalt, glass and concrete. Sparkling buildings, extremely clean streets and yet a city that seems frozen in time, almost abandoned.

“The photographer’s minimalist work goes against the almost hysterical profusion that emanates from the city. Between vertical madness and horizontal vertigo, Tom de Peyret paints a singular and stellar portrait of Sin City.”
