New York is probably the most photographed city in the world. It is
hard to resist the fascination for the Big Apple, and many have
tried to visually capture the singularly unique "Empire State of
Mind." It's not just the classic landmarks that belong to an
emotional portrait of the metropolis, but also the bustling life in
the urban canyons of Manhattan and its neighbourhoods. And this is
why Bernhard Hartmann never approaches New York City from just one
perspective. He employs multiple angles: brilliant studies that
make the sculptural details of architectural icons, both old and
new, come alive, alongside snapshots of ephemeral, shadowy
pedestrians hurrying by on rain-soaked asphalt illuminated by neon
sign reflections. Hartmann is especially taken with the city's
lights, as his black-and-white photos twinkle in an almost magical
way. His colour photographs possess a near- hypnotic quality that
make the nighttime neon-lit streets feel like an homage to decades
past, and his aerial photos almost tangibly pull you into the
scene. Despite the technical refinement and exquisite detail of
Hartmann's photos, their unequalled atmospheric intensity is what
truly makes them special: he combines the latest photographic
techniques with the glamour of historic pictures. The result is a
dazzling, contemporary portrait of the most amazing city in the
world, one that-like your own first visit to New York-you will
never forget. Text in English, German and French.
