Seeking, the beach
beneath the street
Seeking, the beach beneath the street is an ongoing series that started in Paris in May 2024. Partly inspired by the slogan painted on Paris walls amidst the barricades of 1968, “Sous les pavés, la plage!”

From the foreword of Number Thirteen (2020) by Alexander Clay:
“As recollection without nostalgia and longing without melancholia, Number Thirteen’s gentle autobiography allows us to inhabit Vallée’s own curiosity. Less a riotous tearing up of the Parisian pavements and more a languid moment on the beach rumoured to lie beneath, our own desires are moved toward something less easily contained by capital. Photography like this, both reflective and critical, is essential in the fightback against the internal (as well as the external) hold of the neoliberal city over ourselves.“
