ParisNewYorkPortraits captures in a series of black-andwhite analogue photographs a disarmingly unfiltered gaze into hopefulness. Strikingly beautiful in a way that defies standards of homogenized beauty, these faces offer a glimpse into a young urban generation that seems utterly at home in many places. Skin color, ethnic origin, national belonging, or any other category of identity politics that are so disparagingly flooding our consciousness through the political noise and media today seem unhelpful tools for learning what these young people see and want from us to see.
