Le Crépuscule des Lieux ─ Letizia Le Fur

A photobook exploring the afterlife of abandoned interiors through carefully staged images that suspend space between reality and dream.

Le Crépuscule des Lieux is a photobook by French artist Letizia Le Fur, bringing together ninety-four photographs made in ruined houses and castles—spaces from which human presence has receded, yet where traces remain. Keeping a distance from documentary description, Le Fur constructs highly composed images that isolate fragments of interiors and draw out subtle, restrained details. Lines intersect, patterns overlap, and the use of flash flattens depth, producing a quiet strangeness in which reality itself seems to falter. This sensation is intensified by the carefully orchestrated colour throughout the book.

The book’s design reinforces this visual logic. Bound in a Japanese-style fukuro-toji structure, each image appears fully across a spread, while partial glimpses of other photographs emerge before and after it. This layout generates a distinctive rhythm in which the images resonate across pages and seem to continue beyond themselves.
