Serge Ramelli
Paris
A visually stunning homage to the French metropolis
Paris, so familiar, but in a different way. A city with romance and history in its blood shows its tender side in a special way. In pastel tones and luminous nuances that could have come from the palette of French Impressionists, Frenchman Serge Ramelli paints a very personal, photographic overall coloring. In his illustrated book, the photographer shows sights such as the Champs-Elysées, L'Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame and Versailles from an impressive perspective.
An illustrated book about the urban romance of Paris
After the capital of France comes nothing for a long time. Which is not to say that the country doesn't have more to offer - nevertheless, Paris is unrivaled in its uniqueness, its wealth of churches, palaces, parks and boulevards. Added to this is an exciting, long past, significant, influential and formative, which also continues in a long tradition as a sought-after film location. Paris is film and art in its purest form. The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, traces of the artists who once lived here can be seen everywhere, actors made their homes here after film productions, art and culture are everywhere in exuberant abundance. A flair that Ramelli skillfully captures. As with old postcards, which, held up to the light, illuminate street lamps, or with only partially colored black and white images, the photographer accentuates pictorial elements, creating a modern 3-D effect, while still retaining the connection of the pictorial subjects to the historical.
Everyone knows Paris, but who has ever seen fireworks in front of the Eiffel Tower or crossed the Pont Neuf through freshly fallen snow? Ramelli captures all these very special moments with his camera. A kaleidoscope of the Seine metropolis that will delight every enthusiast: in the magical light at sunrise and sunset, at the blue hour or “à nuit”.
