Curious book on New York and the United States in general. Nobi Shigemoto delivers a dark vision of an America in crisis. “This is Nobi’s first photographic book and it begins with a picture of a devastated street scene in New York and closes with the picture of the body of a baby, shot to death by its mother, wrapped in a bloody sheet. Naturally, you may question and criticize him for the contents of this book. Why did he cover only the darkest aspects of the United States ? What prompted him to undertake this difficult coverage was his conviction that the growing crisis faced by United States is not limited to the United States alone. The uglinesses he depicts in his book could well become a reality in the Japan tomorrow”.
