New York + London Daniella Zalcman
This is a love letter to two beautiful cities. In November 2012, I moved across the Atlantic. New York had been my home for seven years. I belonged to New York. It was, and always will be, my city. But then I arrived in London and fell in love. It was thrilling to hunt for all the little differences between the two cities, and comforting to find moments of familiarity. Soon, London felt like home as well.
So now I belong to two cities. I created this series of double exposures to map the intersections between two sets of streets and skylines. The resulting images are part New York, part London, and collectively represent my vision of home. New York + London explores place, memory, and identity through architecture and nostalgia. Brooklyn Bridge Park meets Leicester Square. Whitehall meets the South Bronx. The High Line meets Knightsbridge. After a while, the cacophony of concrete and street life begins to blend into something more universal. My hope is that in the noise and silence, everyone will find something that feels like home.

LE CITTA’ MINIME Matteo Mezzadri
Within the rigid binary structure of our perception, Matteo Mezzadri insinuates a hybrid element, an “impertinence” that unhinges a perfectly defined identity opening a space for its recombination. “Minimal cities” is a multidisciplinary photographic project consisting in a mise-en-scène - sculpture and installation – created by the artist in his studio by means of a variation of viewpoints from both the camera lens and the sources of illumination to establish different nuances of heat and continuous alterations of the mind-set in the work. The overlying bricks in the sculptures, reproductions of invented portions of impossible cities, the “Minimal cities”, are a Gestaltic attempt in which “everything is greater than the sum of its single parts”.
