New York | Keizo Kitajima | PCT 2024 [SIGNED] [CLASSIC REPRINT]
This book is brand new!
Keizo Kitajima portrays Nwe Yor in its turbolent '80s. This new edition is a definitive collection of 152 photographs, including previously unpublished color photographs from the late 1980s. Text in Japanese and English.
“A photographer must be a non-permanent resident, adrift, already and always having left their country, never to reach a place to settle anywhere in the world, but the history and the present of the country they have left are deeply engraved in them. Wherever they go in the world, they carry a latent migrancy with them, and it is only when they enter in among the members of a ‘village’ in some corner of the Earth that their own work begins …
Keizo Kitajima’s New York, the brilliant chain of these images themselves, draw us toward contemplating the mysterious mode of existence known as the photographer.” - from Shino Kuraishi’s essay “Posture During a Time of Transition: On Keizo Kitajima’s New York in the 1980s”
