The Myth of Paris - Images shape the perception of the city. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre - who doesn't know them, the most beautiful sights of Paris, at least from photos? Paris and photography have always been closely linked. The photograph was invented in Paris in 1839. Since then, the French capital has become one of the most photographed cities in the world. Some artists deliberately capture the clichés of everyday life with their cameras: many photos of Paris show a bistro, a gourmet restaurant, or couples by the Seine. Other photographers are drawn to the view behind the façade of the metropolis: "Eyes on Paris" also depicts the darker sides, the abysses, the decay. The best photos of Paris are in the book. Many artists were so fascinated by Paris that they compiled entire cycles of photos of the city and published them in picture books. In these, they tell stories.
