With a preface by Mark Blaisse, author of Before They Passed Away, this book picks out one street in 200 different cities across the 7 continents By means of infographics and a short text, the street becomes a symbol for a culture, a country in its entirety Seven years of travel were needed to make this book With a focus on detailed street knowledge, this is the perfect gift for travelers and photography enthusiasts alike 200 countries; one street each; seven years of traveling and collecting photos, stories, facts and figures about each country. This is not just another photography book. It reveals everything that a street means to society: education, wisdom, youth, experience, happiness, stories, food, and so much more. This is the raw material of life, drawn directly from the experiences of the Belgian photographer Jeroen Swolfs. Seeing the street as a unifying theme, he traveled in search of that one street in each place - sometimes by a harbor or a railway station - that comprised the country as a whole. Each stunning image conveys culture, colors, rituals, even the history of the city and country where he found them. Swolfs sees the street as a universal meeting place, a platform of crowds, a center of news and gossip, a place of work, and a playground for children. Indeed, Swolfs's streets are a matrix for community; his photographs are published at a time when the unique insularity of local communities everywhere has never been more under threat. 200个国家;每个国家一条街道;七年的旅行和收集关于每个国家的照片、故事、事实和数字。这不仅仅是另一本摄影书籍。它揭示了街道对社会的一切意义:教育、智慧、青春、经验、幸福、故事、美食等等。这是生活的原材料,直接取自比利时摄影师杰伦·斯沃尔夫斯的经历。 他把街道看作是一个统一的主题,他四处寻找每一个地方的一条街道——有时是一个港口或一个火车站——它构成了整个国家。每一幅令人惊叹的图像都传达着文化、色彩、仪式,甚至是他发现它们的城市和国家的历史。斯沃夫斯认为这条街是一个世界性的集会场所,一个人群的平台,一个新闻和八卦的中心,一个工作的地方,一个游乐场孩子们。真的,斯沃夫斯的街道是一个社区矩阵;他的照片发表的时候,当地社区独特的孤立性从来没有像现在这样受到威胁。
