Invisible Paris 1

Invisible Paris – essay 3 of 3 – picture 1 of 20.

This series presents a selection of Paris infrared views, from the most iconic to the most modern. The confrontation between nature and urbanism is here at the heart of the narration: the vegetation appears immaculate, surrounding monuments and public spaces in a dreamlike whiteness. In contrast, the buildings, gray and dull, try to focus attention without achieving it. Nature is ubiquitous, pure, as a symbol of escape from the city. The few passers-by scattered here and there accentuate this poetic vision by inviting the viewer to travel through them.

In the end, this series illustrates one of my main artistic approaches: the revelation of an alternative environment invisible to the naked eye and the invitation to contemplation and reverie.
