Bruno Réquillart began to photograph extensively in 1968, working in and around Paris on freelance projects until 1979, when he turned to painting as his primary medium. He returned to photography in 2000 and began anew his series about the Seine. Fifty of these panoramic images were exhibited in 2007 at Silver Eye in a show curated by Linda Benedict-Jones, former Silver Eye director and now curator of photography at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
“Through the lens of Bruno Réquillart, we see familiar scenes from a new perspective,” remarked Benedict-Jones. “We discover trees that curiously exude personality; barges of coal that challenge the stately buildings behind them; bookstalls whose contents gently mirror the architecture; and occasional joggers and sunbathers who remind us which era we’re witnessing."
"These new images of this beloved city all take place along banks of the Seine, the great river that flows through Paris.”
