Sophie Pujas' book 'Maraudes', published by Gallimard, is reviewed in artpress n°427 (November 2015, p. 114). The review contrasts Pujas' work with Léon-Paul Fargue's sentimental and picturesque Paris, noting that Pujas practices 'maraude' in both its contemporary sense of assisting the homeless and its older meaning.
