France Telecom Laboratories, Nice, France Possibly 1989 - 2006

This photograph, taken between 1989 and 2006 by Lewis Baltz, captures the interior of France Telecom Laboratories in Nice, France. Baltz was known for his stark, minimalist photography, which often focused on the architecture and infrastructure of modern society. This image exemplifies his style with its emphasis on geometric shapes and clean lines. The photograph's cool color palette and sharp focus highlight the technological precision of the space, while the absence of people underscores the impersonal nature of the modern workplace. This image, part of his "The New Industrial Parks" series, offers viewers a glimpse into the often-overlooked spaces that drive technological advancement.
