A friend is showing currently his photos at "Le Cheval Blanc" in Carouge, Geneva.

Julien Barro is a young architect and photographer, and is exhibiting a photo series about the Cité du Lignon.

The series shows the suburb neighbourhood Cité du Lignon in Geneva, making the huge , uniform buildings almost beautiful and individual, like for example the photo of the flyer above with hundreds of like windows but actually every window is made unique by its inhabitants.

Other pictures in this series show young people skateboarding, jumping etc. in this architectural context.

I've loved the exhibition for the different view you can get on these suburban neighbourhoods, which mainly consist of huge buildings designed to accommodate a maximum of people, and which normally don't have an attractive appeal.

This fantastic exhibition is taking place ( until end of march ) at Le Cheval Blanc, 15 Place de l'octroi in Carouge / Geneva.
Go, and have a look !
