Book Synopsis
The exhibition presents two series of photographic works by the artist and photographer Ivan Baschang in which he occupies himself with a small, previously little-noticed detail of Paris street furniture, the so-called corbeilles. These baskets, originally installed as waste paper receptacles, were gradually dismantled and scrapped after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. Until then they were as much a part of the Paris parks as the street lamps or tree rings that are still a familiar feature of Paris. Following the photographic act with a medium-format analogue camera, Baschang rescued the paper bins from being scrapped, renovated them and transferred them from the outside space to the interior/exhibition room. There, as objets trouvés, they correspond with the photographs and can continue to exist as an element of historical urban landscaping.
