Tokyo 2011 / Paris 1900

Pierre Alivon
France

Nominee

"Tokyo 2011 / Paris 1900"

1890-2011: two times, two places, two women, but only a "snapshot" that combines the better to highlight the changes, parallels and contrasts. By far, it is believed to watch a single shot. Closely, you soon realize that this is a montage, the juxtaposition of women over a century, and sometimes thousands of miles apart. Two citizens, two cities, two periods are total opposites ... or close?
