At the origin, there is Paris. Paris is the capital of France. It is situated along a bend of the Seine. Its inhabitants are called Parisians. The center of gravity of a surface corresponds to the point that is, on average, the closest to all others. In the case of Paris, this point is Place Dauphine, on the Île de la Cité—a serene, picturesque square, the epitome of postcard-perfect Paris.
Beyond the polished façades and the curated charm of Place Dauphine lies another Paris—one rarely seen, often overlooked, yet deeply revealing. Atlas of Invisible Paris is a photographic exploration of the city's periphery, a journey through its uncharted territories, far from the well-trodden paths of tourists and clichés.
This series ventures into neighborhoods where the city breathes differently—where streets hum with unfiltered life, where textures are rougher, colors more vivid, and time moves at its own rhythm. It is a portrait of Paris stripped of its theatrics, where the poetry of the everyday replaces the grandeur of monuments. These photographs capture the quiet defiance of forgotten spaces, the beauty of the unnoticed, and the essence of a city that extends far beyond its celebrated heart.
Atlas of Invisible Paris is an invitation to shift your gaze, to let go of preconceptions, and to discover a city that exists on the edges—both geographically and metaphorically.
