Description

Bruno Barbey’s coverage of the 1968 riots in Paris have become an iconic record of the time. Says Barbey of the historic events: “I’ve never seen such violence in a western capital as I saw in Paris that month…The most astonishing aspect of May ‘68 was to see all these open discussions among every social milieu and this need people had to speak up for everyone else. People came out on the streets – and they weren’t just students – and had the urge to discuss, to reform the world, to search for freedom.”
