Description of work: "Genius Loci de Paris"....... The work is a combination of a photograph taken by Atget in 1924 and a new image taken in 2019, The new image overlaps the photo taken by Atget in 1924 and the photo taken in 2019. In the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in front of St. Paul's Church on Rue de Rivoli, head north on Rue de Sevignet for about 200 meters, and the Arnavalet Museum is on the left. After another 200 meters, the rue Cevignet ends at a T-junction with the rue Parc Royal. In Atget's photograph taken in 1901, the left side of the building in the back is obscured by the building in the street in front. When we actually visit this location, we find that the building on the left side of the picture is gone and replaced by a park. The street corner changes little by little with time. Support (support), materials (colorants, etc.), technique, etc. - Thick, low-gloss paper specially designed for photographic inkjet printing was used for the support (support). Paper size is H210 x W297mm (A4 size). The size of the image of the work should be 90-95% of the paper size, with margins around the image. The size of the image should be 90-95% of the paper size, with margins around the image. （The street corner photographs taken by Atget have the address of the place where they were taken written on the back of the print. Fortunately, many of the street addresses still remain, and the street scenes often remain to some extent as they were in those days. However, the atmosphere there is quite different, and one is forced to wonder what Atget felt there. Many of his street corner photographs are taken with a large-format camera that uses a glass dry plate to correct the perspective of the buildings. The use of this function corrects the way the tops of buildings appear narrower than they are. Since the cameras we are currently using do not have a "blurring" function, the images I take are corrected on a computer to bring them closer to the images of the azure buildings. After overlaying the images of Eugene Atget and myself, I then create a composite image by emphasizing the symbolic elements that remain in the two images. Eugene Atget (1857 - 1927) was a French photographer. Born in Bordeaux in 1857, he moved to Paris in 1878 and entered a theater school, but dropped out due to military service. In 1890, he returned to Paris to sell his "documentaries for artists. He restarted his life as a photographer. His systematic photographs of old Parisian cityscapes were purchased not only by artists but also by the Bibliothèque de Paris and the Musée Carnavalet. After his death, Man Ray's assistant, Berenice Abbott, collected his works and later sold them to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1968. His work became widely known to the public.
