Manhattan Out

by Paul Virilio, Raymond Depardon
Manhattan Out - Thryft
Manhattan Out - Thryft

Capturing the unseen soul of New York City.

This book would be a good read for someone who is fascinated by the hidden beauty of everyday life. Through Raymond Depardon's "blind" photography, he captures the essence of New York City in a way that is both authentic and unobtrusive. The knowing glances of his subjects towards the camera lens create a sense of intrigue and add a layer of depth to the photographs. As you flip through the pages, you'll be transported to the streets of Manhattan, feeling as if you are a part of the city's vibrant energy. It's a visual journey that showcases the city's spirit and charm, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.

Description

Acclaimed French photographer, filmmaker and journalist Raymond Depardon arrived in New York in the winter of 1980. He came to visit a friend who had just taken a job in the city, and to kill time he strolled around the streets with his Leica. As a self-imposed constraint, and to encourage serendipitous results, he decided to take pictures without ever using the camera's viewfinder. Working incognito throughout the nooks and crannies of New York City, Depardon amassed two or three rolls a day--but when the time came to assess the results, he was thoroughly disappointed. He never mentioned the experiment to anybody and has only now decided to unveil these "blind" pictures to his public. Reexamining the work some 27 years "after the photographs were taken, Depardon was surprised to discover that most of his subjects were aware that they were being photographed, and that consequently the images contain more artifice than he had expected. His subjects project an affect of indifference in their knowing glances towards the camera lens, thereby immortalizing the very spirit and charm of 1980s New York, a period for which there is increasing fondness and nostalgia today. With an essay by the great philosopher Paul Virilio, this monograph opens up an exciting and hitherto lost chapter in Depardon's storied career.
