Bernard Jolivalt’s project |photo|situ|, featured by Edge of Humanity Magazine, examines the city and its spaces through an evolving collection of more than 140 photographs accompanied by literary quotes. Drawing upon concepts from the Internationale Situationniste, the project reflects on urban spaces, the society of spectacle, consumerism, unified urbanism, lost illusions, revolt, and the aesthetics of ordinary places. The photographs were captured during situationist-inspired “dérives,” and a selection of 30 images was exhibited in Bagneux, near Paris, during June 2026.
