City and transparencies - Adrienne Arth photographiesFrom November 24th to December 15th, 2007 at Tampon-Ramier

A sudden roar burst, a town is appearing: Paris, scarefied with humans, lives, traces... Photographs becomes a game of matters and shapes of many layers. The human being becomes a shape in space, a fulcrum where the eye stops and bounce back. In her work, the abstraction look is dominating, but also a definitive modern approach and a more radical photogrphic aesthetic.
