Overview

These four series of photographs represent Benoit Fougeirol's wanderings around the outskirts of Paris, scouring the urban landscape with a focus on things that exist but regularly go unseen. The photographs take a look at the world from a distance through his unique eye, conveying both a deep empathy and a genuine respect for scenes so neglected yet so open. Included at the end of the photography section is a collection of poetry echoing the tone and mood of the images. Combined, this volume presents an incredible view into the world of modern French art and the city that inspires it.
