The Pied Piper, 2019
English clarinetist Oliver Pashley (Britten Sinfonia, The Hermes Experiment…) is at the center of this photographic series shot on film and loosely based on the story of Hamelin’s Pied Piper. Alternating between studio shots and more spontaneous sessions in nature, the pictures at times summon the Kodachrome aesthetic of the Golden Age of Hollywood or the imagery linked to the mysterious German legend recounting the magical power of a musician capable of both liberating a rat infested city and leading their children to death in a common trance.
