About

In the heart of Paris stands Place de la République, a crossroads where lives briefly intersect. For five years, Thomas Boivin photographed the young Parisians who moved through it, capturing the fleeting harmony of the city.

Boivin’s photographs form a quiet record of a generation growing up in a city that is always shifting. His camera picks out the small details,  fashion, posture, gesture, that signal how young Parisians shape who they are and how they want to be seen. Together the portraits reflect how youth finds its place in the centre of the city: claiming space, crossing paths, marking out new ideas of identity, gender and belonging in the open air of the square.
