Paris, late afternoon. The light here is soft and diffused, filtering through high windows to illuminate the ornate plasterwork of lecture halls and reading rooms. Rows of wooden benches face painted landscapes or tiled aisles under coffered ceilings adorned with classical moldings and suspended spherical lights. The spaces are both intimate and grand, their curved seating and vaulted ceilings creating a sense of depth and scale. Ludwig Favre’s photographs focus on the architectural details,the texture of the wood, the play of light on plaster, the intricate patterns of the ceilings,capturing the quiet dignity of these scholarly environments.
