PARIS 2024

Paris 2024 presents a series of photographs of historic Parisian buildings undergoing restoration. Duringconstruction, the façades are hidden behind printed tarpaulins — showing either oversized advertisements orphotographic reproductions of the buildings themselves.These temporary surfaces create illusionistic décors that conceal both the scaffolding and the transformation ofthe city. The images highlight this ambiguity, between stone and PVC, reality and representation.From Haussmann’s urban reforms to the Grand Paris project, the series reflects on a constantly evolving city andreveals the hidden mechanisms that shape its appearance — one façade at a time.
