City of love and romance, literature and art, fashion and elegance – Paris, the city of life, has many faces. With its
architectural wonders, this unique metropolis tells its centuries-old stories, and enchants millions of people every
year with its magic. Visitors flock to its historical landmarks. Not so, however, the photographer who works under
the pseudonym Hoveeto. He willingly turns his back on Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre. What interests
him is not history carved in stone; instead, his passion is to capture life in the here and now. And it is all the more
impressive when Paris’ famous sights serve as backdrops for his subjects.
For this Paris-based photographer, his own city is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. He goes on the hunt for the
perfect picture, most often in the city’s north. Some of the neighborhoods there are true melting pots of immigrants
from around the world. Countless traditions and cultures are thrown together in a confined space. Life pulsates in
a state multifaceted pandemonium. But therein lies Hoveeto’s art: to penetrate this apparent chaos and reveal the
lives of people within the urban environment. It is the art of sensing the perfect second to capture that ephemeral
momentand hold it forever.
The “marché d’Aligre” flea market is a treasure trove of antique books and fascinating images – especially on weekends and in the early morning.
