An artist has created beautiful and disturbing images of houses and other structures taken out of their usual environments and suspended in the sky.

Flying Houses, by French artist Laurent Chehere, is series of photographs depicting what it would actually be like if these homes decided to up and drift away, similar to Disney’s movie Up.

As a photographer, Chehere has created work for the likes of Audi and Nike and employs traditional photography and digital manipulation.

Towering inferno: As well as evoking a sense of wonder, some of the images disturb, such as this picture of a house engulfed in flame

Untethered: Chehere combines traditional photography and digital manipulation to create his images

He said that he tapped into a place of childlike wonderment and drew inspiration from films like Howl’s Moving Castle and The Red Balloon.

The surreal images show new angles of these buildings and provides an insight into them that is hidden when rooted to the ground.

 ’Flying Houses’ is on exhibition at Galerie Paris-Beijing in Paris from October 25 through December 4. Chéhère will also show work at this year’s Art Miami Art Fair from December 4-9.
