The Paris I Know
This project aims to visually connect the physical and the metaphysical beauty of Paris, allowing the viewer to step into the image and then imagine what might lie beyond its boundaries. I’ve lived in and worked in the City for many years, but I haven’t often had the time to thoughtfully reflect on what it is that makes it beautiful. Paris is unique. The project helped me to see how the interrelationship of its buildings, bridges, people and the river that winds through it make the city the magnet that it has been for artists, writers and musicians.
The present selection examines how architecture, trees and people resonate to create the harmony that makes Paris so appealing to me. In the poetic geometry of the trees and paths, and buildings, even their interiors, I feel a certain continuity and peaceful calm. I’m able to take the time simply “to be”. The interplay between this state of mind and the often rhyming, symmetrical visuals contribute to the beauty that I see and feel.
Artist Bio
Bruce Berzin lives in Cambridge, MA. His professional life in finance had often been characterized by the rush of quickly completing multiple, concurrent transactions. Berzin had long been drawn to photography because it required him to stop and observe, and to understand and feel what he was seeing. His images are primarily B&W, which is not quite “reality”, compelling him to capture the “essence” of the moment.
Berzin’s work has appeared in a recent LensCulture Editors Gallery, in an exhibition juried by David Hilliard at the New England School of Photography (NESOP), and it has won awards at various local exhibitions.
