Mark Steinmetz - Rush hour

On the occasion of his residency at Ithaque, Mark Steinmetz presents Rush Hour, a new body of work devoted to Paris. The exhibition brings together two series made at Place de Clichy and Porte de Champerret in the spring of 2025 and 2026.

An American photographer born in New York in 1961, Mark Steinmetz has developed, over several decades, a body of work primarily in black and white, attentive to everyday gestures, individuals, and the spaces they inhabit. His Paris photographs are part of this approach: taken during rush hour, they observe the flows, movements, and encounters that shape everyday urban life.

This exhibition extends Mark Steinmetz’s residency at Ithaque, with the support of the association Les Amis d’Ithaque.
