About the artwork

Since 2011, his start as a digital photographer, Julien Talbot has devoted his artistic practice to urban landscapes. The building in this picture is in Manhattan's West Village. These fire escapes are characteristic of New York architecture in the collective imagination, they symbolise the pre-war era as well as classic American films and television series. They derive from an 1840 law requiring the city's building owners to build metal fire escapes on the fronts of their buildings, subsequent to a fire that ravaged more than three hundred houses in Lower Manhattan. Like the German photographers of industrial installations Bernd and Hilla Becher, Julien Talbot shoots his subjects head-on. The use of contrasted, old-fashioned colours also gives a deliberately cinematographic character to his pictures.
