Carte blanche

Belmondo Road

about

The project

Jean-Paul Belmondo having always been a source of inspiration, Lord Anthony Cahn has created a miniature wall linked to the actor and his life as an artist. Drawing on his many films, documentaries and archives, he sets out to pay tribute to an actor he admires.

On the front, tags and graffiti display “BEBEL” in gold letters, alongside a 1970s cinema frontage plastered with two posters for imaginary films, created from unknown archive photos. On the back, the cosy interior of a cinema auditorium sits alongside a country-house setting.

Passion and ingenuity guided the artistic and creative process of this work from start to finish.
