The exhibition "New York New York", as seen by Lili Mekdachi, invites you to discover Manhattan from a fresh and intriguing perspective.
At night, Manhattan transforms through Mekdachi’s lens, revealing a world where retro diners come to life beneath the city’s rising steam, evoking a mysterious and vibrant underground scene. The city’s avenues stretch endlessly, mirroring the towering buildings that frame them, creating an unparalleled architectural spectacle.
Lili Mekdachi masterfully plays with contrasts, shifting between deep black and white and the warm tones of analog film. Her photographs capture the essence of New York in winter, a time when the city dons its most enigmatic cloak.
This exhibition is more than just a series of snapshots; it is a true journey through the city of lights, guided by the vision and sensitivity of an artist who knows how to capture the soul of New York. Each image tells a story, each angle reveals a secret, immersing the viewer in a voyage through time and space.
We invite you to be transported by Lili Mekdachi’s talent and to see New York in a new light—through the eyes of a passionate photographer. Welcome to this extraordinary visual adventure.
Lili Mekdachi, a member of the Lola James Harper family from its
inception, has played an integral role in nurturing and shaping the
growth of this extraordinary art project. While pursuing her studies in
contemporary dance at the esteemed Paris Conservatory, Lili has embarked on a journey across the United States, accompanied by her father Rami Mekdachi, her brother Noé, and her mother Céline. Over the course of ten summers, this family's adventurous road trips have spanned the vast landscapes from Boston to Miami, Seattle to San Diego, Chicago to Los Angeles, and Atlanta to New Orleans, accumulating an impressive total of 90 weeks on the open road.
Drawing inspiration from her dual passions of dance and photography,
Lili Mekdachi's inaugural photo book, "Summer Balade," is a compilation that chronicles her visual journey across the United States. A labor of love that spans a decade of exploration, "Summer Balade" presents an intimate portrayal of American life as experienced through Lili's unique perspective. Through "Summer Balade," Lili's intention is to provide an immersive experience that invites readers to embark on a journey alongside her, sharing in the sights, emotions, and experiences that have shaped her artistic identity.
As a contemporary dance student, traveler, and photographer, Lili Mekdachi offers a unique fusion of talents that transcend boundaries. "Summer Balade" is more than a collection of photographs; it's an invitation to explore the intersections of movement, culture, and the American landscape. With
this debut photo book, Lili invites us to embark on a sensory voyage, where every image is a brushstroke on the canvas of a larger, shared
human experience.
