Room n. 5 – L’ESCALIER SUR LA SEINE (Paris 2012) - Limited Edition 4/125 - Print only

The artwork is a digital collage of original photographs shot by Franco Smith in Paris in 2012.

It is part of a photographic project aimed at telling places and sensations. Sometimes the storytelling is about symbolic places, other times about locations that just leave you breathless.

This piece is about both architecture and art but also architecture as art.

Two aspects I love about Paris. I matched the decadentism of the building's interior with the vibrant atmosphere you can breathe in this fascinating city. The result is a mixture of styles which, in my view, tells a part of the story of La Ville Lumière.
