- Summary:
-
An homage to Paris By Night (1933), by the Hungarian photographer Brassai (1899-1984), which attempts to capture city life through the flow of people and the river around which they live rather than through monuments and buildings. The book, printed digitally, reproduces 68 photos shot on black-and-white film, bled to the edge of the page, and a poetic text printed continuously in a single line at the foot of most pages. Together the artists "try to capture unidentifiable Paris. An evening in a city, a flow of people, a flow of water. This city bereft of the clichés, the postcard monuments, can become any city. The spiral binding was chosen because the first edition of Paris by Night was also spiral bound."
