NEW YORK : EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING

This photo book finds its place in the vicinity of architecture, urbanism and fusion street art, documenting the vanishing and reinventing of a metropolis. The photographs were taken during endless strolls in the last 20 years, from the end of downtown jungle years to the present day. This resulted in a highly complex visual puzzle made of associations and images of not only culturally definded and seemingly familiar spaces but also, and not least of all, of no-lands, fringe and in-between areas. Each part of this puzzle is equivalent to a specific New York story, of which it shows the part of a second. The whole of these “sub-stories” make the city what it is. This unique view on New York City describes feelings as much as objects, far beyond the ubiquitous clichés of central Manhattan.
