Domestic Routines Become Intimate Fashion Scenes Inside a Parisian Home
Lazoschmidl’s new fanzine is captured by Alan Marty and limited to only 100 copies.
Shot on location inside a Parisian collector’s home, Chores transforms vacuuming, folding laundry, fixing pipes and other everyday domestic routines into something far more intimate and deliberately staged.
The title sounds simple enough. Chores. But Lazoschmidl is not interested in presenting domestic work as background activity. Instead, each task becomes part of the image, part of the styling and part of the character being built inside the home.
Vacuuming becomes choreography. Laundry becomes costume. Fixing something beneath a sink suddenly carries the tension of a staged performance. The ordinary is pushed just far enough that the viewer starts paying attention to posture, repetition, fabric and the strange intimacy of watching somebody move through a private space.
Alan Marty photographs the series with a lived-in closeness. The rooms do not feel like a polished studio pretending to be a home. Shelves, furniture, collected objects, pipes, rugs and household clutter all remain part of the visual language.
That setting gives the clothing a different energy. Rather than standing apart from the environment, the looks become tangled up in the routines around them. A shirt is worn while working. A pair of trousers bends, stretches and shifts with the body. Fashion stops posing politely and starts participating in the day.
The Parisian collector’s home also gives the story its sense of memory. Every object feels chosen, saved or lived with, making the fanzine feel less like a conventional campaign and more like something found inside somebody’s personal archive.
With only 100 copies produced, Chores becomes another collectible object inside that world. Small, intimate and intentionally limited, it matches the private scale of the images rather than trying to turn them into a mass-market fashion statement.
Lazoschmidl has always understood that intimacy does not have to be polished or overly romantic. Sometimes it is repetitive, domestic, slightly awkward and happening while somebody folds a shirt or reaches beneath a sink.
