Andreas Herzau: New York
„Some New York dreams are over. New dreams will form. These images deal with the time between dreams – with the nervousness that arises when the city suddenly does not make sense anymore.
They document the urban infighting, the sudden, inevitable confrontation, New Yorkers up close, as gruff as the garish colors that interrupt this black-and-white cycle.“ Christoph Ribbat in the preface of the book
