First published in 2002, Paris Living Rooms is the second instalment in Dominique Nabokov’s trinity of interior photography works and follows the re-release of New York Living Rooms, both in 2021 (the other is Berlin Living Rooms, 2017).
Nabokov calls these images her interior ‘portraits’ and across 132 pages we’re offered an intimate study of Parisian society from the early 2000s, with the living spaces of Yves Saint Laurent, Nan Goldin, Gérard Depardieu, Carine Roitfeld, Yvon Lambert and Andrée Putman and others featured throughout.
With nothing added and nothing altered, Nabokov simply records these spaces for her fellow voyeurs and leaves us to decipher the rest. Long out of print, this updated edition brings back to life an era of the city’s history, seen through Nabokov’s original Polaroid photos, together with the original introduction by the late interior designer Andrée Putman.
