Barbara Wolff NEW YORK, SIDEWALK CLOSED
Black and white photographs of New York from 2023.
With an essay by Daniel Blochwitz in German and English.
“After the successful photo book “METROPOLIS, BERLIN”, German Photo Book Award in Silver 2021/22, we are now publishing the new photo book by Barbara Wolff. “NEW YORK, SIDEWALK CLOSED” – a book that is once again dedicated to one of the great metropolises. Barbara Wolff’s photographs were taken during a month-long stay in New York in June 2023. In almost timeless black and white images, the photographer shows us the New York of today, the post-pandemic city that is rising after a dark and destructive time. The photographer has succeeded in wresting her own images from the much-photographed New York with great depth of field. With her unmistakably precise visual language, many levels of New York life are revealed and thus go beyond the actual depiction. This can also be seen in the photographs – the dream destination of many tourists on the one hand, the struggle for survival of the inhabitants, their hope on the other. The picture chapters that structure the book are introduced by an essay by Daniel Blochwitz, who lives in Switzerland as a freelance curator and author specializing in photography.” (Book presentation by Lunik Berlin Verlag) Barbara Wolff: NEW YORK, SIDEWALK CLOSED 144 pages, 21 x 28 cm, 112 black and white photographs in triplex print, thread stitching, hardcover with linen, printed at DZA Druckerei zu Altenburg.
