#beauborg

Beauborg, Paris, 1977. André Kertész. Silver gelatin.

Like Melissa Xania loved exploring Paris and when the others were too tired she would happily walk around and see the sites by herself. Although she remained cautious she was so happy when Paris came out of the lockdown following the coronavirus epidemic. Here she is at the Fontaine Stravinsky facing the Centre Georges Pompidou (otherwise known as Beauborg). Behind Xania you see the actual Fontaine Stravinsky and behind that is L'Eglise Saint Merri. Afterwards Xania went for a drink in one of the many reopened Cafes nearby before returning back to the apartment to recount her adventures to the others.

3.000 fotografías realizadas por el fotógrafo Marc Petitjean entre 1972 y 1994 en la manzana Beauborg (centro Pompidou). Conforma una mirada subjetiva de la transformación del centro de la ciudad de París así cómo una crítica al movimiento megaestructuralista. Tanto por su forma de entender la "misión humana y social" cómo por su relación con las arquitecturas del s.XVII y s.XVIII (bulldoze)
