The photographs open up the Provencal capital for a candid insight with images of candy pink buildings set against creme figures and emerald backgrounds alongside precisely composed takes of stone grey homes, alluring to the romance of Marseille’s optical charm. Hulse takes the viewer on a loosely abstract tour of the city, depicting segments of urban spaces.
