Photo exhibition “Solitudes – a Parisian wandering” by Aurélie Branellec at the Brooklyn during the month of October:

“Photography is the means I have found to replay, as an adult, the game of my childhood, that of trying to find out who are the unknowns that one meets and that one will never see again.
We went to the cafe terrace, my father and I, and imagined ourselves the existence of all those who, for a brief moment, had a chance to touch our lives.
When I started photography, at the age of fifteen, and then during my years of training at the University of Saint-Charles, it was only natural to take as an inspiration the unknowns who pass, despite the astonishment of my relatives who would have liked to become my models.
But I had reconnected with the game of my youth, trying to put on film the feelings and stories that I lent to people passing by.
And as this game is played in the city, Paris has quickly become my favorite subject, according to the strolls where, for three years, I had a camera in my hand. Baring in mind the strong contrasts of black and white police films that I love, I tell myself the past of the solitudes of Paris.”

Vernissage October 5th from 7pm.
