« Toi paris tu m’as pris dans tes bras »

It’s a natural temptation to say everything in one finite image.
Stereography is the natural satisfaction to satiate that desire.
The stereographic is an azimuthal projection borrowed from cartography, a discipline whose concern is to figure a spherical surface, the earth, in a planar surface, the map.
If you project upside down you can turn a flat surface, a drawing, into a small and round planet.
Azimuthal means to project from a single point. Reassembled backwards, it gives the impression of a photograph with a very wide angle, a point of view from which we could see everything, a sort of divine vision.
Sort of divine vision as well, the story illustrated is quite obvious and speaks to everyone as the images have traveled around the world several times.
A story, a theatrical play where architecture occupy both the staging, the spectator and the main actor place.
A true story.
