Paris – a photographic book with the city as its theme – takes an abstract approach to depicting the city, while retaining a direct relationship with reality. It is part of the tradition of modernist photography, but it distinguishes itself by the perfect appearance of digitally retouched images.Shadows play a key role in simplifying reality, dissociating locations from their classical visual representation. The economy of form thus created enables the depiction of Paris to be radically transformed, going beyond the customary descriptive task of photography.At first glance, the viewer perceives the overall contrast of the image, with only the light lines standing out against the shadows. As the eye gradually adapts, the details in the shadows become apparent, introducing a second way of reading the photograph and enriching the way it is perceived. Paris is thus viewed anew, moving from shadow to abstraction.Text in English and French.

Bruno Sassarone, born in 1975, lives and works in Paris. He holds a master’s degree in law, but interrupted his legal career after winning Photo magazine’s 2005 Canon Prize and the Front Cover Prize of the January/February 2006 issue. Since 2008, his work has been exhibited in galleries in Paris and Brussels. As a competition winner, his work was included in exhibitions in Paris, at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in 2008 (SFR Jeunes Talents), and in Saint-Tropez in 2019 (Fondation Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque). Studio Harcourt Paris held an exhibition featuring more than sixty of his photographs, in 2022. Aurore Clément is a French film and theatre actress. She was discovered by Louis Malle and has posed throughout her career for some of the world’s leading photographers, such as Peter Lindbergh, Richard Avedon and David Bailey.
