15 years,

600,000 km traveled,

100,000 hotels visited,

30,000 hotels shot,

half of them already disappeared.

Exhibited in 20 locations,

in the collections of 45 Museums.

After  his career as an advertising photographer then art gallerist, Alain Amiand, born in 1944 in Toulouse, France, has for 15 years devoted himself to photographing the word "Hotel", everywhere the same word but always different (30,000 to date).

In order to show this unexpected variety, Alain Amiand assembles his photos in unique Compositions like a painter creates his paintings, each photo being like a touch of color.

Each photo measures 10x10 cm (4x4 in.) and the Composition is surrounded by a white margin 5 cm (2 in.) wide.

Each Composition is printed on a Chromogenic-print between Dibond (alu + PVC) and transparent Plexiglas.

The Compositions sizes range from 40x30 cm (16X12 in.) with 6 photos for 1,200€, up to 500x240 cm (197x95 in.) with 1,127 photos for 120,000€.

All intermediate dimensions are available through 10 cm (4 in.) steps.

Alain Amiand’s works are frequently exhibited in America and Europe and belong to the collections of dozens of Museums in the world.
