Les mysteres de Paris / Paris Mysteries

The French Cultural Center is pleased to welcome the photography exhibition Les mystères de Paris / Paris Mysteries to its gallery for the month of September. The gallery is open to the public Monday – Thursday, 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM and Saturday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. There will be an opening reception with complimentary French wine on Wednesday, September 2 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM.

Les mystères de Paris / Paris Mysteries is a selection of photographs documenting the prominent place of art and artists in Paris daily life. Taken in May 2010, the photographs capture art students working ‘en plein air,’ street art, or graffiti. They offer a look at a city breathing through art with public spaces constantly transformed and re-appropriated by artists.

A street photographer, Ellen Feldman takes inspiration from photographers like Cartier-Bresson, Brassai and Doisneau, who walked around Paris night and day, capturing life “on the run.” Ellen frames her subjects quickly and spontaneously—often without the subject’s awareness.Feldman is the Photography Editor of the Women’s Review of Books, published by Wellesley College. She holds a Ph.D. in Cinema Studies from New York University.
