From March 7 to 31, CoolRooms Palacio de Atocha, celebrates an artistic immersion with the exhibition “Rue de Seine” by photographer Antonio Bellido, which shows in images, made entirely with Leica, “a walk through Paris, the city of light” and through his emotions discovering and living the vibrant French city.

“Rue de Seine”, a stroll through the city of light…

“Rue de Seine” is an evocative stroll through the city of light. A dawn, in a person with a certain shyness and timidity to look, who manages to wake up as he walks through the streets of Paris. Accustomed to tradition, to the leisurely and Mediterranean life, this city becomes a centrifuge of emotions. Beauty, laughter, lights, moments and secrets are some of the sensations that Antonio Bellido tries to capture through the viewfinder of his Leicas. Paris was always Paris, and many photographed it throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But today, it still has that halo of magic and flavor of life that has moved him so much.

The images that are part of “Rue de Seine” will be exhibited from March 7 to 31 on the walls of CoolRooms Palacio de Atocha, accessible free of charge to all those who wish to immerse themselves in this experience.
