This photographer and tattoo artist designed a neon sign that kills

Le photographe Louis Dazy et la tatoueuse Delphie Chu ont récemment transformé leur rêve en réalité en collaborant avec yellowpop pour créer leur propre signe en néon intitulé Blow My Heart. Nous avons rencontré les deux artistes pour en savoir un peu plus sur leur travail et sur la philosophie qui sous-tend leur conception du néon.

What is your background? How long have you been working together?

We both worked as art directors in advertising agencies before starting what we do today. I started photography five years ago and Delphie started tattooing three years ago. We have been working together since we met about a year and a half ago. We knew we had the same vision and wanted to start creating things together. Both of our arts are heavily influenced by surrealism, so it was obvious that we had to do something with it.


Could you tell us a little bit about being a tattoo artist? How does it feel to know that people will have your art on their skin for the rest of their lives?

As much as I love digital art, I felt the need to start working in another deeper, more personal medium. Tattoos also allow me to interact socially much easier and I love the fact that I can work with people on a project they have in mind so they can see it become real. It's even more fascinating when they get it tattooed on their skin.

What made you decide to take up photography? What emotions and feelings are you trying to convey through this technique?

I started photography five years ago, just as I was getting bored with my job. I needed a new way to be creative outside of the office, so for starters, it was a new way for me to document my life and create memories. Soon after, I really got into it and felt the need to create visual stories. I love the fact that everyone can feel and imagine something different just by looking at one of my photos, it's fascinating how they can come up with so many different interpretations of my work. I guess as long as my pictures make them feel something, I'm happy!

Why do you like working with neon in your work?

Neon lights are so cool and allow us to mix our work. We love working with different types of lighting, especially because we love the pop and retro aesthetic.

Pourquoi concevoir votre propre néon était-il un de vos rêves ?

Travailler ensemble sur un nouveau support, en particulier un signe en néon, était super stimulant pour nous. Nous sommes des enfants des années 90 dans l'âme, créer notre propre néon personnalisé est vraiment un rêve devenu réalité. Les enfants de 10 ans en nous sont si fiers !

How did the process go with yellowpop?

Tout s'est super bien passé, une fois le design terminé, nous n'avons eu qu'à l'envoyer et vous avez fait tout le reste, un travail vraiment incroyable tant sur le néon que sur le service client !

What will you do with your sign?

Elle est actuellement suspendue juste au-dessus de notre lit et nous l'allumons tous les soirs ! C'est vraiment cool, merci encore <3
