Fractal #77 based on human skulls has been selected by Trendvision jewellery+forecasting to be featured in Trendbook 2017+

The relationship between our digital and urban spaces is osmotic as fractal realities, and everything seems possible in our parallel worlds. A society “hooked” 24/7 on smart technology, messaging, and browsing, has a long way to go before finding balance with digitalisation. Virtual identities are often a reflection of aspirational lives rather than reality, and online communities and video games are becoming inspirational places. Regulations are still in development on the internet, including finding a balance between the present moment and the holographic reality, the thinning line between what is real or fake.

One can navigate the globe rapidly and being everywhere is an elusive touch away as the screen brings news and knowledge in nanoseconds. This has become an addiction for many as visual fantasies and imaginary worlds are part of uor daily routines and habits, unveitling in a fractal made the new frontier of the“illusionary” digital reality.

Bikershot, the book

Published 01/11/2014 by Cedric

Cover very large-medium A biker portrait series which explores identity, masculinity and sexuality.

Bikershot features a series of portraits of European, American and Australian riders with their bikes and gear. The portraits play on the symbolism of bikes and brands, contrasting the image an individual projects with the secret personality behind the leather jacket.

Bikershot grew out of Lefebvre’s concept of creating a ‘playing card’ portrait of a biker to show two opposing aspects of the same individual. The idea of a portrait with the dual concept of the spoken and the hidden at its core spread through the biker community on social media, bringing requests for more, until Lefebvre decided to create a collection.

Lefebvre says, “Bikers are a tribe, and brands, style and behaviours are their language; a language of heroes, seducers and even fetishism. But each member has a unique syntax, and deciphering it is the ultimate aim of these portraits.”

Bikers on Bikershot:

“The book brings a different view to bike culture, counter to its stereotype: a personal connection between the rider and his bike.” Michael (USA)

“My bike isn’t just a machine. It’s one of the most important things in my life. It’s friendship, adventure and setting goals. These pictures capture my relationship with my bike and everything that goes with it.” Björn (Sweden)

“A unique experience that has changed my relationship with my bike. I can see beyond two wheels and an engine to the bond between rider and bike.” Alexis (UK)

Bikershot is available worldwide from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.fr (ISBN 978-2-9601475-0-6).
