The visual essay I’ve Seen This Before is a stream of personal annotations, a collection of fragments of reality captured mainly in the author’s daily route along the périphérique, the ring road which surrounds Paris. The author, known as Remember, invites us to reflect on the effort needed to discover the moments of escape and ephemeral beauty hidden in urban scenarios of our daily routines. “Finite Rants” is the Fondazione Prada’s online project that challenges authors to explore the visual essay genre and analyze social, political and cultural issues of our present.
