Since the 1980s, the designer Philippe Starck (born in 1949) has been transforming Paris, his home base. The city is adorned with many of his creations: the Costes café, the Parc de la Villette, the History of Paris panels, the photomatons, the Mama Shelter...
The exhibition catalogue compiles his explorations, his offbeat visions and his concrete or imaginary reinterpretations of many places in the capital, whether historical, tourist or intimate.
The book takes the reader on a tour of Paris with Philippe Starck as guide. Using the imaginary and offbeat explanations of pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions, the designer reveals the incongruous mysteries of the City of Light.
The book also proposes to shift the focus to the creative laboratory involved in designing and preparing an exhibition of this scale.
