"Once upon a time there were Bouquinistes #9"
This photographic work in a limited series of 1/9, is part of a new project born by chance, after reading an article about the Bouquinistes on a tourist culture website.
The article denounced the risk of disappearance of these famous vendors on the banks of the Seine, wondering what Paris would be like without one of the most characteristic symbols of the city's history.
In constructing this photographic project, I therefore imagined a new Parisian reality without its Bouquinistes who disappeared more than half a century ago, and what remained of those courtly atmospheres along the banks of the Seine.
The tourist of the time will have
inherit a memory, preserved in those old prints/engravings/watercolours/photographs, purchased during a stay in Paris.
Sheets of paper where the veil of time has scratched the brilliance of the colours, turning them into stains, which will slowly erode the memory of the Bouquinistes forever...
