New York Polaroid...

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £18.23
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Con questa raccolta Maurizio Galimberti rende omaggio alla città per eccellenza, New York, che - con il suo paesaggio, i suoi grandi flussi di gente e la sua ininterrotta vitalità - è diventata lo scenario grandioso del suo nuovo lavoro, scandito nell'arco di un mese da 180 opere, tra Polaroid singole, dittici e mosaici. Affascinato, e allo stesso tempo schiacciato, dall'imponenza della Grande Mela, il fotografo l'ha dapprima frammentata attraverso le tante immagini scattate per poi ricomporla in una metropoli irreale, che però restituisce sorprendentemente lo spirito frenetico della città. Lo sguardo di Galimberti, che nel tempo si è guadagnato la qualifica di "instant artist", corre sulle architetture e sulle persone generando immagini a metà strada fra la pittura, il disegno e la fotografia. Le foto, infatti, sono il risultato di una serie di tecniche combinate: il frottage e il mosaico. Nel primo caso, il fotografo incide linee e segni sulla foto con un comune spazzolino da denti, stravolgendo così il senso dell'immagine o esasperando l'essenza di ciò che è reale. Nel secondo, scatta decine e decine di immagini dello stresso soggetto per poi creare dei mosaici che possono contenere fino a 170 Polaroid.
