The Photon collective is exhibiting “Urban City” at the Gare des Chemins de Fer de Provence throughout June 2014.
Christian Nicot, the spirit of the collective along with his wife Elisabeth, expresses it with words that also convey a sentiment:
Fascinating cities. Bustling. Excessive. The dizzying edges of skyscrapers. Sharp right angles of bay windows where the city contemplates its madness. Flickering neon lights in blue nights where nocturnal solitudes intersect.
Cities of small neighborhoods. Warm shops that take the time to disturb the indifference of thoroughfares with rectilinear anonymity. Cities with walls adorned by graffiti, with monuments that tell the history of the city, where even the signage creates its own language and landscape.
Nice, of course, its tramway, its Klein-blue nights.
They have walked, on a human scale, in oversized cities or provincial ones, distant or nearby. They have captured the beauties of the city. They are going to share them with you. Follow their footsteps. Be the pedestrians of urban amazement!
All these facets, and many more, are revealed by the photographers of the Photon Collective in a grand exhibition: Urban City.
