French architectural photographer Jean-Christophe Ballot celebrates the relationship between sister cities Chicago and Paris. The exhibition juxtaposes formally similar photographs of the two cities, creating a visually rich dialogue. Each image of Chicago is paired with an image of Paris to accentuate the similarities and differences of the two urban centers. In addition to exterior architectural images, Ballot includes images of the cities public statuary.
