Synopsis

Special insider access to the rebuilding process at Notre Dame after the 2019 fire, shot with a historic wet-plate collodion photographic process.


In Tomas van Houtryve: 36 Views of Notre Dame, the viewer accompanies the artist on his fourteen-year journey photographing the Paris icon before and after the fire. Van Houtryve obtained remarkable access to the cathedral to document the devastation of the fire and the reconstruction.

Drawing inspiration from Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, the artist explores the monument in different contexts, seasons and using a wide range of photographic techniques--from 19th-century wet collodion to aerial drones. Accompanying the artist's works is a multilayered archive of the cathedral, including historic photographs, vernacular images and text by Victor Hugo.
