Paris Living Rooms, published by Apartamento, offers an intimate window into the world's most romantic city. Photographer Dominique Nabokov has captured the homes of Yves Saint Laurent, Nan Goldin, Yvon Lambert, and other leading cultural figures of Paris with her Polaroid camera exactly as they are, nothing added, nothing changed. Nabokov herself describes her images as interior portraits, and that's precisely what makes her photography so fascinating, revealing, and honest. Interior designer Andrée Putman's foreword brings yet another inspiring perspective to the mix.
The book is part of Dominique Nabokov's trilogy, originally published as photo essays in The New Yorker. Alongside Paris, the series visits New York and Berlin. The book is in English.
Apartamento is excited to re-release Paris Living Rooms almost two decades after it was first published in 2002. The second installment in Dominique Nabokov’s holy trinity of interior photography works, it also follows the re-release of New York Living Rooms earlier in the year. 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, plus many others, featured throughout.
