For three years now, from Shanghai to Paris by way of Bamako and New York, Gilles Coulon has traveled the world making photographs bathed in the elusive haze of neon light. The atmosphere of these images brings us imaginatively into the personality of each city, each place he chooses to photograph. Whether set in a restaurant in Cairo, the lobby of a building on Broadway, or a Niamey market at night, his photographs bear witness to the presence of man and cause our eyes to linger in familiar places.
