Jochen Gerner by Antoine Ricardou
We had taken Jochen on to work on the weekly timeline for the newspaper Le 1. Little by little, our relationship blossomed and we decided we wanted to see a city through his eyes.
Jochen came back from Stockholm with a batch of picture postcard images that he had retouched by hand, giving a special kind of magic, Chinese-shadow-style, to the city.
