About the artwork

The uncle and nephew drive through the Vieux Saint-Maur-des-Fossés neighbourhood on a Solex. This photograph presents a mythical scene from My Uncle in which the spectator discovers the sweet complicity between little Gérard and his uncle, Mr. Hulot. They cross the neighbourhood of Vieux Saint-Maur-des-Fossés on a Solex, leaving the Arpel's (overly) modern home to head for wastelands, jokes between friends, and sweet oily donuts. The film opposes two images of the city post war, a picturesque and traditional world with another, modern and sanitized world, in which Mr. Hulot's values do not find their place.
