In Search of Piétons: a photo documentary

Talk about exploration and discovery this modern day flâneur traveling throughout France in the early 1990s will showcase a rather unique, one-of-a-kind photographic collection revealed in published format for the very first time. This is a photo documentary showcasing a collection of 25 uniquely different illuminated pedestrian crossing signs (IPCS), also referred to as piétons, discovered throughout a number of cities, towns and banlieues all across France from 1991 through the summer of 1993. All photographs of the figures showing the exact street intersection location represent a double exposure technique in order to capture both the red and green figure on the same color film frame. The take-away message conveyed from this book is to encourage people to explore, to go by foot, to roam about. Not only is it healthy but one can truly experience so many more things traveling at a leisurely pace.
