I managed to take in some sightseeing while in the city of lights. I typically am not a big fan of touristy locales in foreign cities, but the museums they have in Paris are simply on another level.
A hallway in the Georges Pompidou Museum.
The Egyptian Exhibit at the Louvre.
I haven’t been to the Louvre in over 20 years. This is the main entrance/gathering point. I thought to myself, doesn’t this look like an Apple store? Then I corrected myself, no idiot, the Apple store looks like the Louvre!
Nike…or as they call it, Winged Victory (Sculptor: Unknown). They showed images of how the statue would have looked if it were not damaged. The broken form takes on a whole different feel and perspective. I guarantee It would not have gotten this much attention if they discovered the piece intact. The original forms feel static. Because of the random way the pieces broke, she is now in flight, and more spiritual. A happy accident in my opinion.
Ah, Mona Lisa. So small. So far away. So barricaded. So bombarded with tourists. I couldn’t even get a good look at her. So I went around the other end and took a shot of all the people trying to get a glimpse of her. This was far more interesting.
Some of the amazing ceilings in the Louvre. The building itself is a piece of art. At times, it’s hard to differentiate what is “on display” and what is simply the building itself. Someone, (who’s a better shooter than me, and has better equipment) should do a photo series in the Louvre of just the ceilings. I simply tried to find the center axis point in the room, set the self timer on my camera, laid it on the ground and fired away.
I peeped in a small corner and found this room where they store the artwork not currently on display. I love seeing behind-the-scene type things like this…
After arriving into Paris late at night, the very next morning, Errolson from Acronym organized a breakfast at Colette to showcase his newest collection with Stone Island known as Shadow Collection. 9am is a bit early for a fashion show, but breakfast was served thankfully, and there was a great group of people there to witness the pieces which were being modeled by men standing there like statues showcasing all the small details and features as you would come to expect from Errolson.
