Bertrand Delanoë, Mayor of Paris –
“These days, bicycles are as much a part of the image of Paris as the Eiffel Tower. Through his photographs, Gil Garcetti captures fleeting figures; silhouettes that appear suddenly, turn a street corner and then disappear on the horizon. With an artist’s eye, he goes beyond documentation and creates a delicate mosaic of our city on bicycles. This elegant work is at once tribute and testimony to the mix of commonplace and extraordinary featured on its pages.”
