| “That’s Scott’s dog, but I forget its name.” Weismann Says. “Scott had an operation on his knee, so he had this machine he would put his leg inside and it would move the leg really slowly. He had to lie on the floor for an hour or so, and I think it’s pretty easy to fall asleep that way. That’s what he explained to me, and I thought it would make a perfect picture, The dog just came walking into the shot.” |
— Asleep at the Chateau: Chateau Artbook
Jork Weismann || Sep, 2010/12
*Asleep at the Chateau pays homage to this fabled place by picturing its quieter moments. Here, photographer Jork Weismann portrays a range of celebrities asleep at the Chateau--among them Bret Easton Ellis, Kirsty Hume, Patti Smith, Orlando Bloom, Juergen Teller, Sally Singer and Justin Theroux. Sprawled out in chairs, on couches or across the floor, Weismann's subjects reveal both themselves and the Chateau as they have never before been portrayed.
