Louis Stettner (1922-2016), whose work blends influences from American street photography and French humanist photography, dedicated his entire life to social struggles and the observation of urban vibrations. Obligatory lines, signs, characters, plays of light, and fragments of scenes compose an ode to traffic, intersections, and interconnections, while allowing a form of incommunicability between beings to emerge. Irreducible to a particular era or movement, his images today retain their mystery, even their strangeness.
