Paris. Fenêtres sur l’Histoire Julien Knez
Last year, the editors of Parigramme contacted photographer Julien Knez for a special project. After seeing his work that juxtaposed photographs of Paris’ liberation after World War II with what war sites looked like in the present, they commissioned him to do a series on Parisian history, from 1871 to the famous student protests of May 1968. The result is a series that makes readers remember just how much history is stored in the streets of Paris.
These photographs are a selection from Knez’s book, “Paris: Fenêtres sur l'Histoire.”
