From the courtyards of the 11th Arrondissement to the hidden streets of the 20th and the rooftops of Montmartre, Paris reveals itself in fragments – a cast-iron trellis curling above a gate to a hidden garden, the buzz from cafés lining side streets, the play of light across façades. This co-commissioned photo essay captures the city’s pulse, where history and reinvention meet at every turn. As the city prepares for Art Basel Paris, it offers a portrait of a place that rewards those who explore – inviting visitors to experience its quiet corners and vibrant energy beyond the fair.
