Paris - 9 Rue de l’Université

In her photographic series Paris – 9 Rue de l’Université, Frizzi Krella (b. 1970) explores the seemingly mundane subject of a window front undergoing renovation work. With her precise eye, she transforms her observations into a multifaceted reflection of the moment, a composition of the ephemeral. Krella’s photographs are an invitation to investigate the world, with its various distortions and compositions, as if it were a puzzle. They are an opportunity to delight in the playful appropriation of the various layers of reality and coincidence in order to assimilate the things we have seen into the cosmos of our own experience of art and the world around us. Thus, her work takes us all the way back to the very origins of photography and to the Paris of two centuries ago, when moments first began to achieve timelessness.
