I started this project in Paris, taking the time to truly understand each place and the cities that host them. I’m a collector of places that hold onto what the world is gradually losing over the years but might also embody our future. Libraries, with their architecture, are built to endure. I approached this series with a monumental perspective, adding a cinematic touch by using only natural light and exploring color palettes like a movie color correction. I love books—both individually and together, where they create blocks and ranges of color that form a sublime artwork. I enjoy speaking with librarians, sharing in their passion, and capturing the silent, cathedral-like atmosphere of libraries—the temples of knowledge. The series began in Paris and continued in Rome, Vienna, Venice, and Providence, R.I. Eventually, it will include libraries around the world, from monumental to intimate, ancient to contemporary. Inspired by the great masters who have documented libraries, I aim to capture these beloved spaces with a distinct approach to atmosphere, color, and composition, always paying tribute to the architects behind them. I avoid the coldness of strict architectural photography, instead infusing each image with a strong sense of architectural character. Yet, there’s also a hint of melancholy, reflecting how these institutions are increasingly overshadowed by modern digital alternatives. Now back in Paris, I’m focusing on European libraries for a potential book project, bringing together these timeless spaces in a single, cohesive work.
