True to Sabine Weiss's work, this book offers a stroll through the world and the years, meeting artists' lives as well as anonymous ones. From Portugal to New Orleans by way of Réunion Island, Greece or Morocco, from post-war France to today's Paris, the lens crosses in turn famous musicians, cheerful amateurs and solitary street players. Weiss is a photographer of detail, a detail most often ephemeral that disturbs, surprises, creates unease or distils its own happiness.
