Paris faces intense summer heat, and an illustrator is documenting how the conditions affect people living on the streets. Marina Antonova’s series, “Chronicles of a Heating Planet,” portrays the way heat waves shape daily life in the city, with particular focus on homeless people.
Both outlets describe the project as a visual response to the ongoing extreme-weather conditions in Paris. The reporting frames the work as capturing the severity of the heat and its human consequences, rather than as a direct scientific study. While the accounts largely align on the subject matter—Paris’s heat waves and the vulnerability of homeless residents—they emphasize different aspects through their phrasing: one highlights how “summer’s heat waves hit Paris and its homeless so hard,” while the other focuses on the artist’s role in portraying these effects and naming the series.
