City Prince/sses In The City Of Lights

The latest multicultural, multigenre exihibition in Paris, Palais De Tokyo, named City Prince/sses is presented as an ''imaginary, multiple and complex city, without borders, messy, staggering and creative: an unpredictable laboratory, which is always in motion and being (re)constructed.''



The five cities meshed up here are Dhaka, Lagos, Manila, Mexico City, Tehran!Wish these places are as borderless as imagined.Seeing the heavily spent, school-exercise standard curating such massive compilations of magnified magazine pages one might gets overwhelmed but does that mean the show warms one's heart?Is it because India has the nuke that Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata don't fall in the same messy, staggering and creative category as the curated ones?Or is it because of China becoming a super power they excluded  Chinese megacities as something clinically immune to political snobbery?
