Daily Dose From now to your death 1317 | Aapo Huhto - Block "The corporate centers of Manhattan are a maze of concrete canyons. Midday, shafts of light penetrate the narrow corridors and the stark light illuminates the figures that move in and out of the shadows. The tall buildings cast long shadows, but also shelter unseen activities. We may not know what goes on inside the buildings, but we can see what happens on the streets, where the activities spill out, and those involved move from place to place or go simply home. From the narratives of Kafka to bleak the megapolis of Blade Runner , the city has long been a stage to imagine and rehearse states of alienation. Drawn from photographs shot in midtown Manhattan and the financial district in 2014 and 2015, Aapo Huhta’s Block presents a bleak vision of a haunted modern city. Offering little hope, Huhta’s city is shrouded in blinding light and impenetrable darkness." Adam Bell for Paper Journal The book Block was published by Kehrer Verlag, 2015.
