A city after dark, its glass and steel skeletons lit from within by a soft glow that spills onto wet sidewalks. Ludwig Favre moves through its narrow streets,bridges strung with cables, neon signs reflected in puddles, the occasional figure leaning into the light or walking beneath it. The palette is muted but precise: the cool blue of artificial illumination, the warm yellow of signage, the deep black of shadows between buildings. There is a stillness to these images, a quiet accumulation of detail,railing textures, the sheen of snow on pavement, the precision of architectural lines against a hazy sky.
