Concrete Mirages by Tom de Peyret presents a frozen and abandoned setting, with only a few onlookers walking in the stifling heat. The towers, which appear like golden totems, stand out against a landscape that has been almost completely stripped bare. This setting evokes a dystopian world, as if we have been transported to a place following a catastrophic event. However, the elements depicted in the photographs tell a true and shared history, that of the energy expended in a futile and vain quest to construct a city in the middle of the desert. It is the story of the birth of Las Vegas and its urban unrest. The photographer's minimalist approach contrasts sharply with the overwhelming profusion of the city. Between vertical madness and horizontal vertigo, Tom de Peyret creates a unique and captivating portrait of Sin City.
