Taking the city of New York as its point of departure, the photographic project ENOCOMMERCIAl" addresses urban space,

dissecting and reassembling it into something very different than a sum of the city's parts. Image by image, the inner grammar of an urban subtext is pieced together. Block by city block, principles of order and the living evidence of an economic biotope are revealed and documented.

The surprise the pictures hold is the sudden insight into the difference between seeing something frequently and registering it fully.

ENOCOMMERCIAl' is a striking book ot photographs that isn't really about photography. Instead it's a book of images Ihatlocales the soul 01 New York City in its details - encoded into broken bicycles, markings on pavement, words on signs, on concrete, on buildings, on people ... Here no distinctions are made between garbage and luxury, advertising and handwriting,

and in the end this beautiful book becomes a celebration of the order found in chaos, and the chaos in order.

JIM JAR MUSCH

This book to me is a declaration of love and a visual guide 10 New York - its street life, its buildings,

its iconography, its almost secret Big City life details and mysteries, all recorded with love, which is the basis ot all photography that really matters.
