TIMES SQUARE: THE AGGRESSIVE, VERTIGINAL THEME PARK
This series was taken in winter on two separate days and nights. Initially, I started taking action pictures of people at Times Square (as I did in Piccadilly Circus a few weeks before), but in the end, the focus became the buildings and the monolithic signage. I used to go to New York regularly when I was younger and was always a bit overwhelmed by the gritty, subversive textures of pre-Giuliani Manhattan, which I’m convinced would have made for more interesting photos…having said that, there is still something eerily alluring about this austere commercial landscape.
