In 1956, Johan van der Keuken relocated from Amsterdam to Paris to attend the School of Film, capturing thousands of photographs reflecting his sense of desolation with the city as his backdrop. This book brings together the complete collection from "Paris Mortel," published in 1963, and includes the original dummy created by Van der Keuken along with some previously unpublished photographs. The collection provides a comprehensive look at Paris during that era, embodying Van der Keuken’s unique perspective and artistic journey, and showcases his early work which marries personal emotion with the urban landscape of Paris.
