Halfway between a hotel and a contemporary photo gallery, L’Hôtel Atmosphères is presenting Thierry des Ouches’ work on Paris. In the 112 original large-format prints hanging of the walls in every room and in the hotel lobby, we discover what the artist calls his “exoticism of proximity,” a mixture of admiration for the beauty of historical monuments and the humor he uses to decipher the habits of Parisians.
His complete work on Paris is now available in the book Paris, par Thierry des Ouches (Éditions de La Martinière). A deluxe special edition of the book is now available exclusively at the hotel.
A self-taught photographer, Thierry des Ouches started early working with advertising agencies, winning numerous awards for his campaigns. In 1995, he published his first book, Requiem (with a preface by Jeanloup Sieff), and has published many more since. He was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 2002. In 2010, a retrospective of his work was held to mark the release of the book Thierry des Ouches, 35 ans de photographie (Éditions Somogy).
