Tod Papageorge’s first photography book. The subject ? The lungs of Manhattan: Central Park. With his Leica, Papageorge took numerous photographs over a long period (1969-1992). It emerges from this book a real artistic beauty, an almost rural poetry (at times) in the heart of the urban kingdom. Papageorge was able to highlight this asylum where New Yorkers rest, fleeing the noise, the permanent agitation. There is something quite unique about this book.
