Frank Bohbot's 'Light on New York City' is a sentimental and nocturnal exploration of "the city that never sleeps." In this photography project that began in 2013, New York City is presented in a series of haunting and cinematic images as seen in the night time facades and storefronts of buildings that boast neon marquees and signage, eerily preserved in all of their nostalgic and kitschy glory, to undeniable sleek and contemporary exteriors with more daring architectural design. This aesthetic, along with the predominant absence of people, results in a melancholic atmosphere reminiscent of Edward Hopper paintings and evocative of staged theatrical sets merging of a contemporary urban reality and a magical, sentimental artificiality. Text in English French and German AUTHOR: Franck Bohbot is a French, Brooklyn-based photographer known for his vivid, surreal colour images. His approach is painterly and cinematic and his meticulously crafted pictures have a dream-like quality that reflects the mystery of everyday places and life. His unique style has won him international acclaim and important commissions. 100 colour photos
