Joan Liftin: Marseille

Marseille is a love letter from an American to France’s oldest and second largest city. Joan Liftin’s photographs of Marseille, one of Europe’s most ethnically diverse cities, show us a place where much of life still unfolds on the street.

“The Bookstore Project” started in 2012 with a visit to my friend G. J. Askins who has amassed an enormous amount of volumes in a well-lit space carved out of an old mill in Northern Massachusetts.

The inward space is the stage for ZONA, the new photobook by Portuguese artist Nuno Moreira. ZONA plunges deeply into the unconscious by visually giving form to recurrent dreams and explorations on interior landscapes. Similar to theatre, or even cinema, the narrative of the book follows a live-performance shot in Japan and is somewhat similar to a dream experience –…

Street photography is not just a sharp triggering of shutter to shape the outside world in the form of light and shadow. It is simultaneously a curious observation and emotional perception of what’s happening in the ordinary streets at any moment when unpredictable dramas and realities are actually taking place. I have lived in Shanghai for over 9 years and…

“The Bronx has a terrible beauty, stark and harsh, like the desert. At first glance you imagine nothing can survive. Then you notice life going on all around. People adapt, survive, and even prosper in this urban moonscape of quick pleasures and false hopes. Often I am terrified of the Bronx. Other times it feels like home. My images reflect…
