"Paris" is a collection of works by German photographer Michael Wolff (1954-2019). A photojournalist who won the prestigious "World Press Photo" award in 2005 and 2010, he is known for his style of capturing the "invisible everyday" of urban spaces, such as his representative work "Tokyo Compression." This book is a collection of works from Paris published in 2019. Rather than the visible cityscape, Wolff, in his characteristic style, has chosen "architectural details" such as roofs, chimneys, walls, and drainage in Paris as his theme, creating a collection of works that are like visual poetry, imbued with the context and rhythm of the city. In the first half, orderly rectangular compositions resonate rhythmically through the arrangement of roofs and chimneys. The interplay of light and shadow poetically highlights the architectural elements. In the second half, the shadows of trees are cast on the walls of buildings, creating a space where nature and architecture engage in dialogue. There, a serene urban beauty permeates the air, devoid of human presence, and it has the power to make viewers rediscover their everyday space.
