"Born in Marseilles" with Pierre CIOT



2000

When it was question of discovering the city Pierre Ciot chose to dive into the look of the inhabitants. " Born in Marseilles " allows this real transverse approach which escapes any arbitrary classification. 

In the final, you will discover two thousand images and  lives, faces, situations or passions to mark the change of millennium ; beyond the big number and beyond the spectacular, this collection of pen portraits will stay for the history as a small slice of time and of the life of the town where many of the parents of those that were born here come themselves from elsewhere.

Two thousand photos as reflection of the authentic variety of the city not excluding the heat, neither the brotherhood, nor the sometimes supported colors which cross the seasons. A way of reporting another Marseilles, more serene and completely  opened to the world.

The city is a studio. Every street, every door or every inside becomes at glance of a meeting the frame every time renewed by a portrait where only the light of the sea and the mistral wind are accepted.

Here, the photographer put two thousand times his respectful eye on those that, beyond their  birth, reveal their affection in Marseilles.
