VietNamNet Bridge – “Angel in the City” is the photo exhibition by Jean-Paul Lefret, which draws special attention of the public at the French Cultural Centre, 24 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi.
The photo taken in Vietnam.
It is the mixture of modern and taste, dream and poetry, creation of images of the city, the varying noisy and gaudy city, somehow it still welcomes ‘‘a sobbing heart and its silent guard’’.
The urban scenes are like the base of an icon character who bears the signal revealed the recession of his characteristic, however it still makes an effort. A heart, described as a ”new mascot for our modern life, in the heart of modern urban”, following Apollinaire, who wrote “Let’s legendize the mediocre present”
Jean-Paul Lefret is a professional photographer. He currently lives and works in Paris as a commercial photographer, however, he also contributes to the art magazine The Play Ground. He has studied “mascot in the city theory” since 2007.
In the exhibition “Angel in the City,” Jean-Paul introduces 25 beautiful and poetic photographs. Each picture was taken in a different city around the world but the central character is always a girl with a warm heart.
To capture these pictures, Jean-Paul made trips through many different countries. With the same theme, but each picture shows the unique urban context of each city.
