Paying a tribute to Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities”, photographer Diana Artus takes us on a journey into today’s “Visible cities”. Keeping the original text very dimmed in the background and the title plain and clear on each page, Berlin-based photographer Diana Artus superimposes a photography she took in a city somewhere around the globe – from Mexico City, to NY, Toronto, London, or Istanbul, to name a few – creating a contemporary visual journey through urbanity.
The publication has been shortlisted for the ‘Berlin Art Prize – 2013’.
