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, A new image overlaying a photograph taken by Atget in 1924 and a photograph taken in 2019. Rue Bretonvilliers stretches southwest from roughly the eastern end of Rue Saint-Louis-en-Lille, which runs through the 4th arrondissement of Paris and the island of Saint-Louis. It passes under the buildings from rue Saint-Louis-en-Lille and is only about 50 meters long. The road was wet with rain and carts were parked on the shoulder one day in 1900 when Atget/Agier took this photograph. Support (support), materials (colorants, etc.), technique, etc. ・Support (support) is made of thick, low-gloss paper specially designed for photographic ink-jet printing. The size of the paper 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.
