New York Serenade

Description

New York Serenade is homage to the city of New York. The project consists of 50 pictures, shot with an old 8x10 Deardorff view camera, accompanied by a few words. Pictures and texts will be the body of this book, with a foreword by Joel Meyerowitz, New York based award winning photographer. It features 50 pictures that share stories we believe are relevant to describe the continuous changing of the historical sites, the urban landscape, and the different forms of art that the city itself produced over the years. Historical places that have been fundamental in the history of New York's music scene and no longer exist. Streets, buildings and boroughs described in their work by great New York artists. Places where everything started or everything happened for the city's most representative artists. Our aim is to write a story about history, art, music and NY City, and create a journey through his tradition, around historical places that are holding memories of the past, while the future is written somewhere else.

Ciro Frank Schiappa is a photographer. His photographs have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Michele Primi is a journalist at Rolling Stone and a writer.

[the authors] scour the city to remind us of our musical history." --Manhattan Modern Luxury
