Suburban Wonder: Wandering the Margins of Paris

3/5 ( ratings)

Suburban Wonder examines the ignored and undervalued edges of Paris. “Along the Tracks” is a journey along the RER B, a commuter train serving the northern suburbs near Charles de Gaulle Airport. Tabouret walks a sprawling landscape carved by transit lines—one whose existence is normally constrained to blurs seen from the express train. In “Nowhere,” he bicycles a ring road partially encircling Paris, encountering curiosities ranging from a Russian cemetery to Europe’s largest prison to an empty airport propaganda center. His wandering is a sympathetic meditation on the spaces that lie beyond the city walls of Paris.
