Katja Stuke & Olivier Sieber
Since 2017 we photograph the transformation of cities. »These specify some of the unique features of these cities as well as comparable structural elements that they share, which act, for the most part, as catalysts for revolutionary urbanistic developments.«
Observing and documenting the transformations of the landscape, the process of the construction-sites the project deals with the following questions: Can major events like the Olympic Games be accelerators of such urban changes, how much do they contribute to further changing the understanding of private and public space? Do ideas of coming together, exchange, sporting competition still play a central role or are the stadiums, arenas and pavilions just some more ruins of the future?

On 8 December 2018, in residence in Paris, Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber were confronted with one of the first ‘acts’ of the gilets jaunes movement. From a distance, without taking sides, but without remaining indifferent, they observed how this conflict became part of the city‘s narrative. This walk, of 113 photographs, guides them from the rue de Rivoli to the Louvre, from the Madeleine to the Gare Saint-Lazare, from the Boulevard Haussmann to the Place de la République, and depicts nothing less, nothing more than six hours of protest – one act – of a social drama.
