Journey through stones and light, photographs by artist Ahmet Ertuğ Conciergerie

9 Feb 2024 — 20 May 2024

From Saint Sophia in Istanbul to Saint Peter's in the Vatican, Ahmet Ertuğ travels the world in search of the finest examples of ancient architecture - Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman or Christian - illustrating the three principles established by the theorist Vitruvius: durability (firmitas), utility (utilitas), and beauty (venustas).

From Saint Sophia in Istanbul to Saint Peter's in the Vatican, Ahmet Ertuğ travels the world in search of the finest examples of ancient architecture - Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman or Christian - illustrating the three principles established by the theorist Vitruvius: durability (firmitas), utility (utilitas), and beauty (venustas).

Using large-format cameras and negatives (20x25 cm), long exposure techniques, and drawing on the expertise of his architectural eye, Ahmet Ertuğ captures in his shots what makes architecture monumental, and what contributes in the smallest detail to the spirit of the place.

For this exhibition at the Conciergerie, the choice fell on shots of French and Italian monuments.

Once you bought the ticket you have access to a tablet. There are different areas that can be scanned throughout which show you what the room would have looked like and the history. It's a fantastic concept and brings an interactive side to the visit. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody interested in French history.
