JOHN STEPPLING

Wish You Were Here
“At the 1889 Paris Exhibition, and in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower,the centenary of the French Revolution, and consequently of the French Empire, was commemorated. This was the ﬁrst exhibition to include a true colonial section for the history of France and the one that would mark the beginning of a model for colonial representations that would last during the ﬁnal quarter of the 19th century and for the whole of the 20th century. In fact, the area in Paris reserved for showing the colonies was located in the Champs de Mars and was a tableau vivant divided into four zones – Arabia,Oceania, Africa and Asia. In the 1900 Exhibition,this would grow into a much vaunted “tour dumonde” but without the visitor ever leaving Paris.” —Maria João Castro
