"New York" is a collection of works by Belgian photographer Harry Glière (1941-). Having photographed New York for over half a century since the late 1960s, Glière is one of Magnum Photos' leading photographers and is known as part of a generation that greatly expanded the possibilities of color photography, along with William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz. Starting from a strong interest in film, his perspective has seen the city not merely as a subject for documentation, but as a stage where light, color, and the presence of people intersect. This book is a collection of fragments of New York photographed over many years, including skyscrapers, neon signs, street corners woven from a multi-ethnic society, and landscapes passing by from car windows. The photographs are arranged in a bold double-page spread format, unfolding with a rhythm like turning the pages of a film's storyboard. What is captured is not a specific event, but the light and color emanating from the city, and the momentary tension and exhilaration created by the presence of people. Furthermore, the inclusion of fictional stories by film director Cédric Klapisch blurs the lines between reality and imagination. Set against the backdrop of the ever-changing global city of New York, this collection offers a unique visual experience where photography and cinematic sensibilities intersect, characteristic of Glière's work.
