Michael Kenna’s “Pont des Arts, Paris,” transforms the city’s first iron bridge into a delicate, ornate apparition rising from the mist to connect two gauzy, surreal worlds. Kenna, an eminent landscape photographer, originally aspired to enter the priesthood, and his images echo the reverence and spirituality instilled in him by his religious studies. Only working in the tranquility of nighttime or dawn, Kenna strives to accumulate time and memories by using unconventionally long exposures. He will often spend many introspective hours with a subject, attuning himself to its innermost essence before photographing it, and his work has been featured in esteemed exhibitions and museums worldwide.
