Let the escalator:
This postcard has in common is that the same publisher as the first postcard from the previous message, Chantal editions.
But this time it is a cliché Cl Rives.
tube escalator is again the center of the image and then, once again it is supposed to condense the whole architecture of the Pompidou Centre or at least it is his sign.
Given (lighting gas?) Given so that we rarely sends three or four cards of the same site to its corresponding image is good choice to choose a representation of self place. It's sort of there, the tacit agreement between the photographer of the postcard and the buyer who come together on a single representation of an architectural object: by the end of the escalator.
The photographer for this viewpoint limits the perception of the construction just things. One perceives the tube, some metal parts and beams.
It is certainly one way to tell the function of the promontory of the escalator here loses its function of circulation and distribution of visitors up to become a modern balcony in Paris. That of the eternal Paris Montmartre hill completely covered and chosen by the photographer at the risk of losing the location of the shooting: the Centre Pompidou!
But what is somewhat (very) funny here is that this promontory is watching Paris, visitors use it to ... look at the photographer!
Who is who in the end? In
Indeed, how do? Let visitors are staring to Montmartre and turn their backs to the photographer, or they may also bind to to take the sun in your face!
The sun's light shatters the glass escalator by offering us turn a light warm certainly, but also traces of grease and dust on the wall of the Large Glass broken yet ...
We admire the perfect male-female alternation and alternation of supports on the railing. Do they know they are being photographed for a postcard? Are they complicit photographer Cl Rives?
can imagine such a rendezvous of friends helping a friend (e) photographer to make his shot. Hence perhaps their mocking smile ...
