New York (2024, Signed) is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kitajima Keizo. Kitajima's New York (Byakuya Shobo), published in 1982, was shot in New York in 1981 and 1982, and was his breakthrough work, which led to the award of the Kimura Ihei Photography Award. It is a collection of snapshots typical of Kitajima's early days, known as the Sniper, depicting the American underground culture, sometimes violent, sometimes raging, where people and the city collide intensely, through black and white. However, in fact, Kitajima visited New York again from the mid-1980s onwards and took snapshots, but did not compile them into a collection of works. However, unlike the early 1980s, it captured the scene where people from all over the world began to gather, and a premonition of globalization was felt. This new edition includes both the black and white from the early 1980s and the color from the mid-1980s onwards. Kitajima is known as an artist who is very careful about the timing of his publications, and while he has also produced works related to the Soviet Union such as "USSR 1991," this book makes one think that he chose this timing to publish this work to sound the alarm about the never-ending war and the global trend of prioritizing the interests of each country in the name of globalization.
