13e Ciel is a visual exploration that unravels the ever-changing urban landscape of Paris' 13th district through the lens of architectural photography. Every picture in this book was captured from the artist's apartment. The project began in 2014 when she found herself irresistibly drawn to the mesmerizing view of the cityscape. What initially started as a personal pleasure soon transformed into a mission to chronicle the metamorphosis of this dynamic area in a minimalist yet poetic manner. 13e Ciel offers an intimate glimpse into the soul of a city, a testament to the beauty that can be found in the midst of transformation, and a celebration of the artistry inherent in architecture. The Poems of Marina Seretti bring a harmonious touch to this visual journey.
