Editions Castor et Pollux, http://www.castor-et-pollux.com/ Preface by Albert Jacquard, included: "Instants d'amour" Portrait-film of Gérard Uféras by Pierre Schumacher 256 pages + one DVD A testimonial to a Paris of love With the eye of the photographer, Gérard Uféras shares 70 weddings or civil partnerships celebrated and feted in the city. He offers all lovers of Paris a vision full of optimism. Through more than a hundred photographs, he testifies to a city where everyone is free to commit, choose, move towards other people. By displaying these moments of happiness combining generations, social, cultural or religious origins, he tenderly fights off the temptation for self-withdrawal and the apparent standardisation of our cities. The photographer thus illustrates his conviction of a Parisian identity with strong diversity, capturing the joint promise of these “differences that love unites”, the gamble and wonder of the approach that consists in “projecting oneself in the future and coming out of oneself to move towards a different other”.
