Paris Park Photographs features spectacular images from a dozen
public parks and gardens in and near France's capital city.
Exploring many of the same places that photographer Eugene Atget
(1857-1927) made famous a century ago, Michael Kolster references
the pleasures and pitfalls of wandering alone amongst trees and
plants and sculpture, unkempt and formally designed places,
tempered by the knowledge that the modern world with all its
congestion is only a few short steps away. These intimate yet
inherently expansive views of Paris's parks invite closer scrutiny
of the encounters awaiting us at the edges of the well-worn paths
defining our daily lives. Few people venture into the frame of
Kolster's photographs, but the promise of a renewed sense of hope
and community resides in the details of his visual encounters and
the moments of his heightened attention. Each picture speaks to us
as a moment in time, even as the sequence suggests a choreography
of place, one that can vary daily along with the changing moods and
light of each park. Paris Park Photographs is presented in a
bilingual English/French edition and concludes with an afterword by
Michelle Kuo. Of note is how the book's design is inspired by
Walker Evans's 1938 classic work, American Photographs, making
Kolster's book of immediate interest to photo and book collectors.
