Restoring Notre-Dame de Paris - Patrick Zachmann - książka

Opis

Gain an exclusive perspective on the tragic fire at Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral in April 2019 and the subsequent restoration efforts, through the lens of acclaimed Magnum photographer Patrick Zachmann, who was granted special access to the site. The introduction was penned by General Jean-Louis Georgelin, who led the conservation and restoration initiative of the cathedral. Zachmann was present when the devastating fire broke out on the evening of April 15, 2019. Unbeknownst to him at the time, his role would extend over the coming months as he continued to capture the ongoing developments at the cathedral. Navigating scaffolding, negotiating steep staircases, and using an aerial work platform, he unveiled new perspectives of Notre-Dame, including its altered silhouette and the preserved artistic treasures. Thanks to his early granted access, Zachmann was able to provide insights from the initial weeks following the disaster, offering a unique view of the restoration journey.
