Wounded Cities is a photobook by Leo Rubinfien, one of America's leading photographers. He was a pioneer of color photography in the late 1970s and 1980s, and held solo exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in his late 20s. He is also known as an exceptional essayist, and is an artist who is constantly asked to contribute to works and photobooks by famous photographers. This book is a representative work of Rubinfien, whose exhibitions have been held in Japan and other countries around the world. Just a few days before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Rubinfien had just moved into a new home near the World Trade Center. Since then, he has continued his journey to pursue the expressions of people passing by in the streets of cities around the world (which he calls "world cities" connected by invisible threads) and to look at the psychological scars that terrorism has left on people's inner selves. The book features text by Rubinfien himself, and the unique binding, featuring fold-out illustrations, was designed by the photographer himself in collaboration with Steidl.
