Ludwig Favre photographs a Parisian reading room in the moment before anyone arrives. Long tables, green banker's lamps, a vaulted ceiling, the silence of a nineteenth-century institution still in service. The image belongs to his Paris series on the city's public interiors, libraries, department stores, swimming pools, buildings the city has kept warm and used for over a hundred years. Favre approaches them as architectural portraits, level and quiet, made before the visitors and the daily light arrive.
