A lost utopian housing project in Paris captured from the inside out
Photographer Laurent Kronental spent four years capturing these Grands Ensembles and the people who live there, to pay tribute to this often marginalized living before it disappears. Location in Nanterre in the Pablo Picasso district, these 18 towers were erected by the architect Emile Aillaud between 1973 and 1981 and have more than 1600 dwellings.Although his first work focused on the exteriors of these gigantic housing units, he eventually befriended many of his photographic subjects who would invite him into their private homes.
When I saw these pictures, I felt like a window on the plane, a kind of closed but it was able to see everything very clearly. Photographers from different rooms, different shapes of windows to take photos from the inside out. These photos give us a different feeling, this place is also a lot of photographers want to explored.
