I was lucky enough to make a quick visit on 12 November to the Grand Palaias Ephemere.
The exhibition was amazing – although quite overwhelming.
Some notes below.
Polycopies / Rene Burri exhibition
So on board the Bateau Concorde Atlantique at Port de Solferino (near the Musee D’Orsay) was three levels of photo book paradise. And outside along the bank of the Seine was an exhibition of Rene Burri’s work.
On board the boat I was really blown away at the collections of photo books to look through and talk to publishers and photographers. Nearly all publishers had signings and I met Maria Lax to have my copy of ‘Some Kind of Heavenly Fire’ signed which was incredible. I asked her about some of the choices she made for the book and it was such a treat to just chat to her.
I also met Thomas Sauvin from Beijing Silvermine and FilBooks who had Cemre Yesil’s books including her latest ‘Double Portrait’.
