David Lachapelle
de Davide Faccioli et David Lachappelle

Book Description
In David LaChapelle land, Pee-Wee Herman is a Martian crash landed into a pastel suburb; L'il Kim becomes the ultimate status symbol, tattooed in the Louis Vuitton pattern; an elegant half-dressed woman wakes up in the untouched remains of an otherwise completely obliterated building; Madonna rises from pink waters as a mystical dragon princess; two women stand in a monochromatic red bathroom, one about to dig into the tub in which the other lies amidst pools of spaghetti; a woman and a horse carcass share a bed; Pamela Anderson hatches out of an egg; and Alexander McQueen burns down the castle dressed as the Queen of Hearts. It's all so much hyper-reality and fun park America gone surrealistically wrong--but in such an attractive way. Witness the workings of the photographer of our zeitgeist.

Heaven to Hell

Book Description
David LaChapelle. Controversial. Explosive. Thought-provoking. Arguably the world's most famous living photographer, he has been breaking all the rules for over twenty years. This book is the last chapter in a trilogy that started with the New York Times bestseller LaChapelle Land (1996) and continued with Hotel LaChapelle (1999), one of the most sought after and collected photography books of all time. Celebrated as the Fellini of photography, LaChapelle has photographed personalities as diverse as Tupac Shakur, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Amanda Lepore, Lance Armstrong, Eminem, Pamela Anderson, Elizabeth Taylor, David Beckham, Lil' Kim, Hillary Clinton, Philip Johnson, Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, and Britney Spears, to name just a few.

While referencing and acknowledging such diverse sources as Renaissance art, cinema, the Bible, pornography, and the new globalized pop culture, LaChapelle has fashioned a deeply personal and epoch-defining visual language that holds a mirror to the face of our times, reflecting back both the sacred and profane.

Lachapelle Land
de David LaChapelle

Book Description
Deluxe, larger-format reissue of this collectible, long out-of-print book. The marriage of David LaChapelle’s vivid, high-octane images with graphic artist, Tadanori Yokoo’s super-saturated designs, is an astonishing showcase for the lollipop giddiness of the original. LaChapelle exaggerates the artificiality of fame and Hollywood culture in a head-on collision of color, plastic, and whimsy. His photographs challenge ideas of taste and celebrity, while taking us on a roller coaster ride through a hyper-sensationalized galaxy. L'il Kim becomes the ultimate status symbol, tattooed in the Louis Vuitton pattern. Madonna rises from pink waters as a mystical dragon princess. Pamela Anderson hatches out of an egg. The acclaimed Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century recognizes David LaChapelle’s 1996 LaChapelle Land as its 101st book. LaChapelle Land is packaged and produced by Callaway Editions.

Rize
DVD de David LaChapelle

Description
Rize révèle un phénomène urbain qui est en train d'exploser à Los Angeles et de se propager sur la Côte Est. Parce qu'il est au contact de celui-ci depuis longtemps, le photographe David Lachapelle a réussi à saisir la naissance d'une forme révolutionnaire d'expression artistique issue du mal de vivre des exclus du rêve américain : le krumping . Cette danse agressive et visuellement incroyable, alternative à la danse hip hop habituelle, prend ses racines dans les danses tribales africaines et se caractérise par des pas et des mouvements d'une vitesse et d'une difficulté inégalées. Rize suit cette fascinante évolution à travers l'histoire de Tommy le Clown, un éducateur de South Central à Los Angeles, qui a inventé cette danse en réponse aux émeutes raciales consécutives à l'affaire Rodney King.
