Description:
Born from the Modern Movement, the cities of La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) and Chandigarh (1953) are each characterised by their distinctive architecture. These three works of contemporary heritage question man’s place in the city and the promise of utopia.
The interaction between Stéphane Herbert’s photographs and the poetry of Carole Lenfant invites one to an urban promenade punctuated by games of shadows and the density of the colours.
Urban Utopias is an invitation to meditate on three anticonformist and dreamlike cities, three cities that are open and universal.
