The City of Light is part of a group of works created since 2005 by Oliver Sieber and Katja Stuke. In Paris, Japan, or in certain cities in Germany, through their silent marches, artists map and cast their gaze on sensitive urban areas subject to profound urban and social changes: construction of an Olympic village, factory closure, forced gentrification... In a frantic race towards the future and the illusion of progress driven by the same clearly visible forces of globalization and wild liberalism. On December 8, 2018, in residence in Paris, they were confronted with the first “acts” of the yellow vest movement. From a distance, without taking sides, but without remaining indifferent, they observe how this conflict fits into the city's narrative. This march, 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 manifestation – an act – of a social drama.
