Patrick Tosani’s Retrospective At Paris’ Maison Européenne de la Photographie


At first glance Patrick Tosani’s photographs seem like textbook examples of monolithic, clean and simple photography.

But look a little closer and objects like ice cubes, spoons and high-heeled shoes reveal themselves by a trick of perspective and massive proportions, playing with scale and drawing the viewer into a new dimension.

Over 200 such clever twists comprise the contemporary French artist’s first retrospective, currently on view at Paris’ Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
