Travelling, seeking the identity of a place, where you never lived or seen. New York Time is a mixture of strokes and urban portraits showing, in silence, a city which is mentioned, recognizable.
New York is the city where you can walk from the Battery Park in Low Manhattan to the Bronx, either in the morning or at night and is never quiet, it is NY.
Being one of the numerous foreigners, surrounded by the noise of the multicultural reality that NY offers, I found the silence of the great streets, of the people, ignoring the fact that this is a city you can understand without ever having been there.
I carried on the challenge of the others that have previously photographed it, trying to be myself despite the murmur of immensity, revealing my vision of the city’s identity.
Conscious of the importance of photographs and words, and that travelling coincides with photojournalism, I tried to find a paused view, a particular way of seeing NY: without movement, stopping the time, being myself, without worrying about what people could say or believe. I wanted to show the peculiarity of its buildings and its people. So, I could establish a curious hybridization, combining the landscape and the anthropological aspects of the city in order to obtain some general information which became part of a guide of practical use.
Free interpretation of NY for those who have been there or for who has never had the chance to go.
