Beyond the Iconic Contemporary Photograp
by Guy Bennett

The Eiffel Tower. Notre Dame Cathedral. The Champs-Elysses. Poetic cobbled streets, working-class cafes, and lovers -- so many lovers. These are the classic images of Paris, the most-photographed city in the world. No surprise that it has been home and studio to photographers whose work has defined the medium -- Daguerre, Atget, Kertesz, and Cartier-Bresson, among so many others. But now, based on an international exhibition curated by the authors, Beyond the Iconic by Guy Bennett and Beatrice Mousli presents a revolution in imagery -- 139 contemporary images from 24 photographers whose work is preserved in the permanent collection of the renowned Carnavalet Museum in Paris. These artists reinterpret the city, capturing the day-to-day realities of everyone's favorite capital. They explore aspects of Paris that are rarely shown, and collectively offer an alternative to the canonical representation of the City of Light.
