Le Point Ephémère

photo booth in a street covered with street art

200 Quai de Valmy
Paris 19
> M° Jaurès

Installed in the summer of 2008 at Point Ephémère in Paris, restored the following summer because of arson, this photobooth was replaced in February of the following year and stopped on the 9th of June 2010.

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, reputed to be the cheapest hotel room in Paris, graffiti tagged, attacked with broken bottles and paving stones by hooligans …

this machine-fortress is the most solid photobooth ever made by Foto Automat, the one which, despite the bad company it keeps, has always done its work!
