Rue du Prevôt

The Rue du Prevôt is located in the 4th district , Saint-Gervais district , and begins at 18 Charles Street (near Place Saint Paul) and ends at 129, rue Saint-Antoine . This street is one of the many narrow streets in Paris. Its width, less than 3 meters, is reduced to 1.8 meters in some passages. Also all the construction on this street are old and the street is very similar to what it was in the early 17th century.

Browsing through the endless menu of my Fuji X100 F, I found the possibility of making double exposures. Many years earlier, in the early 1980s, the film drag malfunction, I had unintentionally obtained overlapping frames. At first I was disappointed, then I realized that some series had added value, reevaluated and printed them (Vidicon 1980). In recent years I have taken the opportunity offered by the digital camera to experiment with this way of working. Everything is much more controllable but rigid, I only partially overlap the frames, resulting in a long frame, similar to a “panorama.” With the digital double shot function this cannot be done. The frame remains the size of the sensor, but it is a double exposure for all intents and purposes.  When I found myself in Paris,I didn’t want to be part of the swarm of tourists photographing Paris, all the same things…the double exposure saved me, allowing me to interpret what the city offered to my eyes, to my mind, in an original way, and to express the overcrowding, the crush, even of photographs that the places and monuments of Paris are subjected to. these images offer new insights, new forms, which do not double the visual experience but contrast it, quoting writer Di Luca: “two is not twice as much as one, they are not bigger, heavier, more beautiful, but the … ‘opposite’.”
