“Château-Rouge”（红色城堡）系列以巴黎2个主要的非洲人社区（Château-Rouge和Château d’Eau）里的居民为拍摄对象，记录了他们多彩而独特的发型。每张照片都是在街道的“街头摄影棚”里拍摄。

Château-Rouge (Red Castle) is a glimpse into the frenetic and colorful haircuts of Château-Rouge and Château d’Eau, 2 of the main African neighborhoods of Paris. Pictures were shot in the street with a “street studio”.

摄影师Francois Prost长期游历巴黎，包括它的两个“非洲人”社区：Château-Rouge和Château-d’Eau可以被看做是城市反绅士化（anti-gentrification）的最后两座堡垒，在过去的15年间，这里完全没有受到时间的侵蚀。它们依旧保留着最初的真实和热情，保留着同样的餐馆、水果摊，以及同样的理发和接发店。

一天早上，摄影师碰到了一个留着彩色长发的女孩，令他想起了小时候看过的日本动画片里的形象，于是将她拦住，希望为她拍一张照片。同时，这也让摄影师想到了两个看似对立的世界：一边是由色彩缤纷的赛博朋克独角兽组成的世界，另一边则是只有传统装饰的世界；它们展示着一种人造的绚烂与传统的天然之间所形成的强烈对比。在这两极之间，摄影师感受到了某种冲击与迷恋。自此之后，他的任务变得更加明确，那就是走向这两个大型社区的街道，在其中寻找全新的多彩世界。

15 years that I have roamed Paris and its two so-called “African” districts, 15 years that “Château-Rouge” and “Château-d’Eau”, the last bastions of anti-gentrification, remain invulnerable to the erosion of time . Unperturbed, nothing has yet succeeded in eroding their authenticity and their fervor, there are still the same restaurants, the same exotic fruit stalls, the same hairstyle brands, and the same hair extension shops.

One morning, I run into Alyssa, with her long multicolored hair, I stop her to ask her if I can take a picture of her hair, because it reminds me of the hair color of certain Japanese cartoons from my childhood. It also reminds me of 2 worlds that seem to me to be opposed. On the one hand I see a world made of multicolored cyberpunks unicorns and on the other a world of traditional adornments, it is the shock of synthetic extravagance against the naturalness of tradition and I find myself in the space of a moment lost between these two poles. I take a few photos again, and I like it … From then on, my mission becomes clearer: to go in search of new colored settings in the streets of the two largest Parisian Châteaux.
