Description
In his new book, Robert Polidori presents us with a single large-format photograph of a city block in an improvised, auto-constructed settlement in Mumbai, India. In an almost seamless deroulement that appears to expand like an accordion or folding-screen, the photograph is composed of multiple images imperceptibly overlaid and welded together in a complex process to form a panoramic view.
Applying remote sensing techniques that are normally used in space cartography and street photography, Polidori ventures a photographic attempt to come to terms with the phenomena of adjacencies, observing and beholding what is next to what. In this way, he minutely scans the urban landscape, recording the precarious and temporary nature of the provisional and yet psychologically rich and in fact highly individualised dwellings.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Martin C. Pederson of Common Edge praises it as a remarkable visual documentation and precise deconstruction of a single urban block. Stephen Wallis from the Wall Street Journal notes Polidori's compulsion to document human existence often overlooked by photographers. Meanwhile, Metropolis Magazine highlights Polidori's detailed dissection of Mumbai's urban panorama.
