The market from within

The Marché des Enfants-Rouges, Rue de Bretagne follows a covered aisle past stalls, flowers and figures under the receding roof. The view gives ordinary trade as much attention as the structure around it. Other market subjects change the weather, angle and part of the setting that comes into view.

Construction beside the Seine

Construction Work on the Pont Alexandre III opens across the river from a broad quay, with temporary structures and small figures along the water. Other works follow demolition, rebuilding and historic buildings at different stages. These scenes make the city’s changing spaces part of the subject.

Transport and the active street

Double-Decker Trams in an Avenue in Paris brings vehicles, pedestrians and tall buildings together along a tree-lined route. Smaller details give activity to the view without losing the street’s overall shape. Other works turn into narrower lanes, courtyards and quieter corners of the city.
