34 heures

34 hours in Paris, Diptyque 

 

Make 34 hours of a day, Diptyque’s Paris, a new space-time. With open eyes, see all that surrounds 34 and Paris’s 5th arrondissement up close.

 

Stretch out the hours by marking space and pages to preserve the moment. Soak in the sky’s infinite variations, colored roofs, facades, and shop windows before giving way to city lights. Trace the gray asphalt as it leads to lively colors from trees, flowers, nature, and life, blossoming throughout the city. As you capture still images of birds frozen in flight, imagine the architecture, art, and history around you: the straight lines of the buildings, the softer, more supple bends, the turns and folds of the sculptures in the gardens, the undulating stacks of books, and the curves of the columns of the Pantheon nearby. Imagine on the other side: water shimmering and silvery as it gushes from the fountains and mingles with the green and gold reflections on the Seine, all deconstructed, suspended and brought to a stop in a series of infinite, abstract snapshots, capturing the passage of time.

 

Reinvent, encircle, and play with reality and light as you make 34 hours of a day watching Diptyque’s birthplace reveal itself, chronophotographically.
