Comments: Softcover, 24,5 x 34 cm. Black and white portraits capturing the 1980s in Paris.

Powerful shots that illustrate the dream of another France of the 80s, opposed to the pitiful spectacle that the beginnings of an odious electoral campaign gave us to see.

Blacks, Whites, Beurs, pretty faces and broken faces face each other. The story is one of trouble, with a background of sex, drugs, Rockab' and glamour; where we meet the Stray Cats until late at the "Grand Boulevards" parties in Albert (...) It is this raw energy that I tried to capture with my camera, charged with a Kodak Tri-X boosted by my flash. Even if sometimes I acted with cunning and surprise, I always expressed truth and sincerity through my pictures... "
