Detail
Giovanni Del Brenna documented the evolution of a particular Parisian urban project that aims to turn more than 100 hectares into areas intended for agricultural production. Each photograph reveals innovative ways to grow organic products in the very heart of one of the main European capitals: from organic strawberries grown in containers, to vertical farms that are directly connected to one of the biggest French supermarket, to vegetable gardens on the rooftop of some historical buildings near the Opera Bastille.
“Urban agriculture” is an oxymoron that has become reality, a new way of life that challenges the photographer’s eye. A magnificent visual playground that shows a very positive evolution in Paris – two worlds, a priori contrasting, connected: the countryside and the city, the natural and the artificial.
