Paris Photo, a seventeen year old expo, came to Los Angeles this weekend. According to the fair's director, Julien Frydman, the city was chosen for the first iteration abroad for the following reasons:
If you think of one area that has a very strong relationship with
images in a large and broad sense, it is Los Angeles. For us, this city, which in the last ten years has changed so much with
so many galleries, was an obvious environment to create the fair. Once
we secured the location at Paramount Studios, it was even more obvious
because we were in this historical place where fiction meets reality.
Paramount was an inspired venue. Several sound stages housed the many international galleries, but the magic truly happened on the streets of New York where store fronts and residential facades were turned into exhibition rooms.
