NEW YORK ABSTRACT

In this book Jean-Paul Cattin's perspective redefines the codes of traditional documentary photography by reinterpreting a space in an abstract and contemporary manner. Jean-Paul Cattin, attracted to the unique energy of New York scans the metropolis's towering avenues with his camera. Within the impossibility of impossibility, the vertiginous Big apple, in the brick and metallic erosion the artist reveals organic fragments of life. In order to emphasize the details and atmosphere of the subject some of the images in this book were taken with a high resolution 60 megapixel camera. These photographs evoke a particular romanticism which projects the viewer in a world that only his own imagination can define. Facing the latter one feels emotions similar to those provoked by modern abstract paintings.
