A Short Story + Goodbye Ivan

<p> A Short Story is a photobook about a love story that lasted 12 days, over a period of 4 months and 4 citys: Matera and Reggio Emilia in Italy, Paris, and Lisbon. Carefully designed by Florent Pierre, inspired by the 50s and the 60s modernism, it brings the story telling close to both "roman-photo" and cinema, as well to some classic photobooks such as Love on the Left Bank. With the idea of building bridges between reality and fiction, the book icludes an original soundtrack composed by Goodbye Ivan with the collaboration of Alexandre Varlet.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Both book and music together create a narrative of an intimate experience that may echo in everyone's imagination of what love can be. The idea behind is that our vision of love is not only the result of our own experiences, but also of what has been passed on to us by books and cinema. But, if the book clearly echoes cinema and fiction in its graphical form, the story told and it's original material remains the outcome of an unexpected encounter, one morning of april in an Italian square.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7090l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84943/DSCF7090L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7050l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84944/DSCF7050L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7042l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84945/DSCF7042L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7056l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84951/DSCF7056L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7077l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84947/DSCF7077L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7082ll" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84946/DSCF7082LL.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7052l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84949/DSCF7052L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7079ll" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84948/DSCF7079LL.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dscf7051l" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84950/DSCF7051L.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Img180" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/82892/img180.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Few tracks:</p> <p> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/les-disques-du-7eme-ciel/goodbye-ivan-feat-alexandre-1" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/les-disques-du-7eme-ciel/goodbye-ivan-feat-alexandre-1</a></p> <p> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/les-disques-du-7eme-ciel/goodbye-ivan-feat-alexandre" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/les-disques-du-7eme-ciel/goodbye-ivan-feat-alexandre</a></p> <p> --</p> <p> Thomas has published 3 books: “Portrait d’une jeune femme” is self-published and can be bought on his website (<a href="http://www.thomasboivin.com" target="_blank">www.thomasboivin.com</a>), “Marseille/Mer” is published by Seriti (<a href="http://www.editions-seriti.com" target="_blank">http://www.editions-seriti.com</a>) and “Floating” by Akinabooks (<a href="http://akinabooks.com" target="_blank">http://akinabooks.com</a>); </p> <p> Thomas lives and works in Paris, France.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Goodbye Ivan is Arnaud Ivan Sponar, a French multi-instrumentalist and producer who lives in New York.
