Cyril Hatt sees photography as a material. He photographs an object (one often associated with consumerism) from every angle, before gathering the 10x15 prints by folding and stapling them, thus recreating its volume to scale. His creation Escalator, commissioned by Festival Images, reconstitutes old escalators from the city’s former shopping centre and is therefore a glimpse of yesteryear when this department store was an essential amenity for Vevey’s inhabitants.
Escalator is a Festival Images (Vevey) production
