Ultra-cool Marais coffee shop and concept store The Broken Arm has invited curators Thomas Erber and Antoine de Beaupré to present 12X21, an all-summer photography exhibition.

Featuring a collection of 15 photographs by 15 world-renowned artists, 12X21 brings together an exhibition of unstoppable energy.

Each piece, charged with (at times ironic) sexual tension, has achieved an incredible compositional balance. Sonia Sieff’s “Les Jambes Des Femmes Sont Des Compas” echoes of raw sex, dripping with electronic heartbreak. The contrasting image “The Garden” by Elina Kechicheva sings of past summer days of water gun fights and real family feuds all played out in the American back yard. Shocking or intimate, each photograph carries enormous and exciting potency.

Within the setting of The Broken Arm, where this season Marni hangs near Alexander Wang sandals and Carven kicks, the youthful energy plays together to create the most intoxicating photography exhibit in Paris this summer.

Next time you’re planning lunch or coffee with a friend, make The Broken Arm your go-to spot. The art is alive, the food is delectable, and the rest of the shop is absolute eye candy. Or perhaps the next new thing to go in your closet.
