Über das Werk :
New York, réflexion
"I discovered New York as I was passing through on the way to Haiti to do a report. I arrived during the day and was staggered in the taxi from the Brooklyn Bridge onwards. I got dropped off in mid-Manhattan to emphasize the impression. A kaleidoscope of perspectives, colours, ostentatious grandeur and concealed dilapidation. It was cold, I walked like all newcomers, my nose in the air, taking advantage of every pedestrian crossing to stop in the middle of the road and turn my head in 360° panoramic circles. In the lift which took me to my room on the 34th floor of the old Carter Hotel, close to Time Square, my brain was again bombarded by the big apple, and everything was blurred as if subjected to visual persistence. When I opened my window blind, the building opposite reflected this image which magnificently combined the sensations of the day, and this impression of madness and of neo-gothic proliferation, rigidified in a ruthless and resolutely modern orthogonal grid."
