Discussion. Co-presented by Aperture Gallery

Featuring: Michel Lussault (Geographer / FR), Matthew Pillsbury (Photographer / US)

Working primarily in New York, Matthew Pillsbury captures human activity in urban environment, from isolation—tuned into the omnipresent screens of our tablets, laptops, televisions, and phones—to crowded museums, parades, cathedrals, and even protests. A geographer specializing in urban studies, Michel Lussault, depicts the impact of globalization on space, and the way we experience and organize our societies today. These two flaneurs observe and discuss the relationships of individuals to their daily environment and the urban landscape.
