End of sidewalk in homage to Pierre Soulages

In the darkness of the asphalt, a piece of night frozen in the pavement, like a fragment of dark chocolate delicately placed on a street. An homage to Pierre Soulages, where light is drawn into a black hole to illuminate the shadows.

This silver film photograph was taken in the early 1980s in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood of Paris.

The artist aimed to make extraordinary an ordinary object such as this piece of sidewalk that crowds trample upon every day.

This photograph, with its great originality, has neither been cropped nor retouched!
