Paris, 8 Dec 2018—La Ville Lumière

On 8 December 2018, in residence in Paris, Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber were confronted with one of the first ‘acts’ of the gilets jaunes movement. From a distance, without taking sides, but without remaining indifferent, they observed how this conflict became part of the city‘s narrative. This walk, of 113 photographs, guides them from the rue de Rivoli to the Louvre, from the Madeleine to the Gare Saint-Lazare, from the Boulevard Haussmann to the Place de la République, and depicts nothing less, nothing more than six hours of protest – one act – of a social drama.
