Marseille: France's second-largest city, both captivating and detestable. That's what Jean-Christophe Béchet seems to be telling us. He was born there.
Without "giving an account," he observes his city, and what he sees is transformation, perpetual motion, the layers from antiquity to the present day piling up, the ebb and flow of the Mediterranean, the relentless rhythm of its waves. Here, the city center, the inner harbor, the highway leading there, a city turned upside down. European Capital of Culture, Marseille 2013, is an opportunity for reflection and a return. Marseille, his birthplace.
Hardcover under a slipcase, 28 x 21 cm, first and limited edition, text in French, colors and b&w photographs, handcrafted and designed by Dominique Gaessler. In very good condition. Signed by Jean-Christophe Bechet.
