The exhibition features shots taken&nbsp; in over 100 different countries and never fails to make a&nbsp; (1) \u2026.. impression on those who come to see it. (2) \u2026.. part&nbsp; of the fascination probably comes from the fact that&nbsp; Bertrand is (3) \u2026.. on record things that the public could not otherwise see, this alone cannot explain why people are so&nbsp; (4) \u2026.. affected by the photographs themselves.

Then suddenly, the umbrella&nbsp; blows inside out, after which it is (4) \u2026.. useless, either&nbsp; because the material is torn or because the metal (5) \u2026.. is&nbsp; broken.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Another (6) \u2026.. of umbrellas is that no object is so frequently&nbsp; left in public places.
