Berlin-based TOMASO BALDESSARINI captured his experiences in New York in the photo book titled 28MM Edition I Manhattan. The book was curated in cooperation with Bianca Winter, art producer and co-owner of SOLOMON WINTER. It was released in May, and a release party in Berlin is expected to take place in summer.
For photographer Tomaso Baldessarini, 28MM is a very personal project, for which he had to face his own fears on his photographic journey: He was confronted with a feeling of strangeness and reticence.
“My wonderful curator Bianca Winter taught me visual order. She has over 21 years experience as an art buyer and has worked with colleagues we all know. For example, Lindbergh or Richardson. A merciless eye precedes her, and I appreciate that very much. Her experience made the book something very special. When you meet someone who understands a vision without a lot of words, that is an incredibly beneficial situation. We had a selection of 10,000 photos, 400 km of walks and unbelievable pain are in this book. But I have also learned to work with just a camera and a lens, I've learned to move like a deer between masses of people. It does not have that much to do with the typical New York experience you see in movies, it's the real unfiltered New York. 317 photos had to be placed in the layout by me, just as I did the photo editing completely by myself.”
