Badia Cabaret Neon Signs, Paris at Night

5 October 2017 · Paris

Layered neon signs crowd the frame outside Badia Cabaret in Paris — star motifs, overlapping letterforms, deep blacks. Photographed from a low angle, the graphic geometry of the signage pushes flat against the night sky. The signs carry their own weight as subject: typography and light doing architectural work, stacked into something closer to a poster than a photograph.
