London is divided and united by its river; one of the few cities in
the world to find its essence in two profoundly different, yet
nearly touching, urban characters. So the Thames provides the
perfect vantage point for telling the most comprehensive story of
this complex city. Arriving with little previous knowledge of
London, Matteo Pericoli made an intensive twenty-mile journey along
the river, from Hammersmith Bridge to the Millennium Dome and back
again. Over two years later, he leaves behind the most astonishing
document of his journey: two thirty-seven-foot-long pen-and-ink
drawings depicting the city's north and south banks. Each drawing -
presented on one side of this beautiful single-sheet
accordion-style book - is rendered with loving and essay-like
detail, revealing a distinct profile of London in all of its
diversity: a dozen boroughs, nineteen bridges and hundreds of
buildings, including the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern,
Battersea Power Station and the Millennium Wheel. Matteo Pericoli's
inimitable drawings, constantly complementing and questioning each
other, brought him to a better understanding of London - and
whether you've lived there all your life, or have never been at
all, this breathtaking work of art is certain to deepen your
thoughts and renew your fascination with one of the world's most
brilliant cities.
