LE BATEAU IVRE – Martin Essl

On Thursday 19 September from 6pm, Martin Essl will be at Artazart for the launch and signing of his new book, Le bateau ivre.

Admission is free and no booking is required! Pre-order your signed book now and receive it after 19 September.

Martin Essl is an Austrian photographer who has lived in Paris for many years. A reference to Arthur Rimbaud’s poem of the same name, in which the writer uses the image of a boat to represent a man’s journey through life, Le bateau ivre is part of Essl’s autobiographical work. In a photographic essay structured like a play in five acts, the photographer sketches the contours of a city in transformation. Composing an abstract, contemporary map of Paris, he explores the relationships between people, the city, time and memory.
