“Hotel Mermaid Club”, Chris Rhodes' first photobook, is an ode to daily life. The British photographer is transforming reality to recreate a calming and poetic universe flirting with melancholia. His use of colours and framing rearrange into the book a very personal aesthetics of the mundane world. Although portraiture in a traditional sense is not present, the book finds its humanity in its narrative, the spaces we occupy and objects so ordinary they escape our attention
