This Is Us (Paris), Maria Di Stefano

Intro

During the month of February we will be showing a selection of photographs from Maria Di Stefano’s recent completed project This Is Us - PARIS.
Pursuing a project begun in Rome in 2021, the photographs in the exhibition feature nine young Parisians of non-European origins who cannot obtain French nationality until the age of eighteen.

The photographs embodies a unique duality. On the one hand, the strong look of the protagonists staring at the lens. On the other, an archipelago of moments unfolds under the viewer’s gaze, revealing different shades of personalities, places, and relationships that led to this series.
