EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition of modern technology and historical landmarks in the heart of France. Against a stunning sunset backdrop, a row of electricity pylons stand tall, their high-tension power lines stretching into the distance. In front of them, two iconic symbols of Parisian beauty emerge - the Eiffel Tower on the left and Montmartre Sacre Coeur Basilica on the right. The image showcases an intriguing blend of urban cityscape and natural environment. The silhouettes created by these towering structures against the vibrant sky create a mesmerizing visual contrast. As evening falls, shadows dance across the landscape, adding depth to this creative composition. Charles Platiau's keen eye for detail highlights not only architectural marvels but also emphasizes our reliance on electricity as an essential part of modern life. The power cables connecting these pylons remind us that even amidst grandeur and history, progress continues to shape our world. In this photograph devoid of human presence, nature takes center stage alongside man-made structures. It serves as a reminder that while we may harness electricity for our needs, we must also consider its impact on our environment. Through this remarkable image captured in November 2016, Charles Platiau invites us to appreciate both technological advancements and cultural heritage while contemplating their coexistence within one frame.
