Paris Changing: Revisiting Eugne Atgets Paris

About this book

Between 1888 and 1927 Eugne Atget meticulously photographed Paris and its environments capturing in thousands of photographs the citys parks streets and buildings as well as its diverse inhabitants. Christopher Rauschenberg spent a year in the late 90s revisiting and re-photographing many of Atgets locations. Paris Changing features seventy-four pairs of images beautifully reproduced in duotone. Each site is indicated on a map of the city inviting readers to follow in the steps of Atget and Rauschenberg themselves. The book concludes with essays by Clark Worswick and Alison Nordstrom an epilogue by Rosamond Bernier as well as a portfolio of other images of contemporary Paris by Rauschenberg.
