迈克尔·沃尔夫凭借《中国：世界工厂》与《东京压缩》分别斩获2005年与2010年世界新闻摄影奖，由此声名鹊起。本书呈现了这位摄影师对巴黎的独特解读——他择取巴黎城市景观中典型的建筑特征，以独门技艺将看似平凡的景物升华为永恒意象。

屋顶、烟囱与灯饰通过色彩、形态，尤其是体积感为画面构筑视觉韵律。沃尔夫邀请读者步入他独具匠心的视觉世界，让目光追随墙体与排水管的蜿蜒线条，驻留于那些被精心捕捉的意外细节。摄影师深层的创作意图，是引导我们审视这些严格几何形态背后所依存的环境与建筑语境。 

本书第二部分强化了这场穿越巴黎屋顶的梦幻之旅：树影斑驳点缀着各类建筑立面，营造出视觉诗境，在人类踪迹缺席处催生自然与建筑的亲密对话，令二者浑然交融。

Michael Wolf achieved fame when he won the 2005 World Press Photo with his China, Factory of the World project, and the 2010 World Press Photo with his Tokyo Compression. The present book offers his personal take on the French capital. Singling out typical architectural features of the Parisian landscape he renders the seemingly banal immortal, as only he knows how.

Roofs, chimneys, and lights provide the pictures with rhythm, with their colours, shapes, and above all their volumes. Wolf invites the reader to enter his highly distinctive visual world and let his gaze follow the snaking lines of walls and gutters, dwelling on unexpected details lovingly picked out. The photographer’s underlying desire is to encourage us to consider the environmental and architectural context that provides a framework for all these rigorously rectangular features.

This dreamlike journey into a Paris viewed from the rooftops is underlined in the second part of the book. The shadows of trees decorate the fa?ades of various buildings, creating a visual poetry and prompting an intimate dialogue where, in the absence of all human presence, nature and architecture blend into one another.
