| Publisher Description: Far from the usual clich s about the City of Light, the three photographers of Made in Paris propose an 'imaginary' journey on what makes up the visual identity of a city: everyday life confronting our gaze. The typical and predictable moves: there are no monuments, pregnant views, exaggerated and predictable perspectives, but business fronts, commercial signs, plaques and signage of all kinds, details of street art and casual design. Page after page they offer us a particular alphabet to decipher Paris and its specificity. Symbols and multiple icons that are inscribed in the memory of citizens, tourists and the flamenco, drawing a particular, unique silhouette. |
Contributor Bio(s): Spehr, Daniel: - Daniel and Kathrin are a couple of photographers living in Basel who can not resist living under the dictates of a thermometer that, with the accuracy of a Swiss watch, indicates a temperature below zero, days of fur boots and hats. That is why every year they escape from the mandates of winter and seek new territories that tempt them with their exotic warmth. This is how they have photographed Bangkok, Sri Lanka, Buenos Aires ... their temporary shelters.Schultess, Kathrin: - Daniel and Kathrin are a couple of photographers living in Basel who can not resist living under the dictates of a thermometer that, with the accuracy of a Swiss watch, indicates a temperature below zero, days of fur boots and hats.
