AN EXTRAORDINARY WORK OF ART—ENCOMPASSING TWO SYMBIOTIC FORMATS—PHOTOGRAPHER BETTINA RHEIMS AND WRITER SERGE BRAMLY CREATE MULTIFARIOUS POETIC ILLUSIONS OF THE CITY OF LIGHT

“

his shadow hovers above the strangest mysteries‚ and his traces

He is nowhere and everywhere at once,

are found near the most inexplicable crimes.” though that line was first published in the 1911 French pulp novel Fantômas‚ sub in a feminine pronoun and it might well be a caption in Rose C'est Paris the new‚ limited edition photo/film tome‚ an ambitious yearlong collaboration with taschen‚ by fashion photographer Bettina Rheims and her writer ex-husband serge Bramly. Rest assured‚ this is exactly their aim.
