“When I started the Cityscape project in Paris in 2007, I didn’t expect to travel for the next twelve years, and photograph nearly eighty cities spread over six continents. This project continues to grow. In fact, I revisit certain targeted places and explore others, in search of an aesthetic balance between people and living spaces, incessant movement and dazzling urban landscapes. In the same way, the in-camera double-exposure technique that is prevalent in my work, is evolving to translate a vision as well to try to renew it. As long as matter and subject remain mysterious and challenging, I will pursue this project.” — Nicolas Ruel
