Description |
English: This study of a shop window in Paris unites interior with exterior in an intriguing juxtaposition of reflections and objects. The sidewalk, which is completely overexposed in the foreground, is revealed in detail in the reflection of the shop window. A clear depiction of the photographer at work is also evident: Eugène Atget appears in profile, standing at his camera in the lower-center pane of the shop window, as though he is a miniature automaton prominently placed for sale. It is almost impossible, in fact, to tell where the reflection of the street ends and the contents of the shop begin. A lamppost appears to be up for sale alongside a mantel clock; a wagon wheel is displayed just under a cherub to the right of the vases. The overlapping of the contents of the antique store with the everyday objects of the rapidly urbanizing city suggests that Atget was making a commentary about the reduction of Old Paris into nothing more than a collection of curios. |
