What if you took the time to see Paris from a different perspective? In the heart of the 11th arrondissement, Hôtel Les Deux Girafes presents Traveling Parisian, a photography exhibition by Philippe Baumann that reveals the poetry of everyday Parisian life. Through architecture, light and fleeting moments, discover a more intimate side of the French capital, far from its usual hustle and bustle.
Paris Through a Different Lens: The Poetry of Fleeting Moments
Based in Paris since the 1980s, photographer Philippe Baumann wanders through the capital in search of unexpected encounters between passers-by and their surroundings.
In his photographs, a silhouette crosses a colonnade, a woman blends into the reflections of a shop window, and a couple casts their shadows onto a building's façade. Each image captures the precise moment when architecture, light and movement come together in perfect harmony.
Through Traveling Parisian, the artist invites us to slow down and rediscover a city in constant transformation. His photographs reveal moments of silence amid the crowds, the beauty of overlooked details and fleeting scenes that often go unnoticed.
His distinctive artistic vision reflects an impressive career, including collaborations with renowned photographers and artists Steve Hiett and Jean-Paul Goude.
