How do we look at the city?

Stephan Keppel uses multiple tools to portray the city, or the idea of it: Paris, was the inspiration for his book Entre Entree, New York is the main subject of Flat Finish. He deconstructs the urban space in a way that the viewer sees it as a series of compositions, memories, frames. Keppel is allowing us to see the same buildings, the same surfaces all over again to study them, to capture them, to remember them.
