Le Corbusier “une promenade picturale” (a pictorial walk) is the result of the revisiting
of the grand architecture of Le Corbusier in France in a resolutely visual fashion.
The series was exhibited in the framework of Paris Photography Month 2012 in the theme
of “le réel enchanté” (enchanted reality). The exhibit was held at the “Maison de l’Architecture
à Paris” in November and December of 2012.
The project is supported by the Le Corbusier Foundation.
This series is accompanied by a book entitled "je rêvais" by Trans Photographic Press Editions >
A voyage of imagination between reality and abstraction, the photographic series, by its
pictorial character, parallels the painted and architectural works of Le Corbusier.
Effectively, despite his major impact on the world of architecture and city planning, Le Corbusier
considered himself a painter above all else. By means of long exposure and mastery of movement,
the photographer moves through Le Corbusier’s sites like through paintings, and projects us into
a new space-time. The spirit of the place is maintained, but reality disappears in order to lead us
towards a poetic fantasy: colors detach themselves from the windows of Ronchamps, Le cabanon
interacts with the sky, the convent of “la Tourette” retains only its light, and the “Cité radieuse”
liberates its Modulor.
