Book displays of Paris

 

 

 

Book displays of Paris - a few examples. Inspiration for various shelving, trolley & display ideas I am toying with. Found at the second hand book sellers running along the Seine.

2 x 3 arches, plus a cat & 3 succulents - triptych

The cat of the Château de Vincennes stands guard by it's cat door in the middle of three arches, light streams through three of the Vincennes' chapel stained glass windows, three hanging succulents in the flower market.

Straight lines in Tuileries

 

Straight lines in Tuileries - promenaders form sight lines similar to Caillebotte's Paris Street, Rainy Day, and a close-cropped Ash stands by some crew-cut trees.

Paris through the blinds with furniture - a series

Paris on film - inside Musée des Arts Décoratifs, photographing the Tuileries through the sheer blinds, creating the effect of an interior projection of outside. Ash peers through the blinds to capture an unobstructed shot. Art Nouveau furniture quietly fills the foreground. 

The framing, narrative and diffused light have such a cinematic quality. 

Images to be converted into slide film and projected somewhere which isn't Paris. Because even though this is Paris, it doesn't really feel like it.

Dilapidated Denmark

Arne Jacobsen designed Bellevista apartments - 1932-36, at Klampenborg are a sorry sight with paint peeling, crumbling balconies, cracks in the concrete and rotting wooden windowsills.
Copenhagen's Little Mermaid poses upon her pedestal of rocks avoiding the swathes of seaweed and tourist rubbish surrounding her.
Bleak vistas.

Denmark not taking care of their cultural heritage.
