Menhattan
€95.00
Morad Bouchakour was one of the photographers invited by Foam (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam) to give a picture of modern New York for a group exhibition in that city commemorating four centuries of connections between Manhattan and the Netherlands. Bouchakour, a sometime New York resident, pointed his camera at passers-by who did not stand out in the New York street scene. Communications agency Vandejong, which also works for Foam, then cast the resulting piece of photojournalism in the shape of a large fan-fold that the panel thought well suited to Bouchakour’s style of photography. It’s a pity this not particularly exclusive-looking ‘book’ has been brought out in a limited edition of only 500 copies. It deserves a wider audience.
Morad Bouchakour, a former resident of New York City, captures the essence of modern Manhattan through a series of photojournalistic images. Invited by Foam (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam) to contribute to an exhibition commemorating four centuries of connections between Manhattan and the Netherlands, Bouchakour focused his lens on everyday passers-by who often blend into the city's bustling street scene. The work is presented in a unique physical format: a large fan-fold (leporello) structure that allows for a continuous visual narrative. This limited edition publication, released in 2009, serves as both a photographic study of urban life and an artistic exploration of New York's identity, capturing the fleeting moments of individuals within one of the world's most iconic metropolitan landscapes.
