"If Paris were a person, her face would be that of an older women
with conflicting lines etched upon it of hope and despair." Until
recent years, Paris was the vanguard city of the world. today the
hybrid of Paris/Modernity is fading, with competition form cities
of the east like Dubai and Shanghai, architectural grandeur and
innovation is outplayed in scale and ambition. In these
photographs, Jarret Schecter attempts to understand the future by
glancing at the past. He stalks time, depicting the fractured
pieces that Paris has left behind. Progress, melancholy and the
past are most visibly profound in Paris, yet also profound elegance
and understanding of the history if its streets. Scheter examines
the city's changing, diverse population and its architecture, both
young and old, the book functioning as a dialogue between past and
present. He photographs people and places that have undergone
massive change, or places that are still the same after decades; as
such feeling he was really 'stalking' Paris, discovering the
grandeur, however faded, and mystery of the city that outlives its
younger counterparts.
