Zoo York is one of the great photography books on the extravagant energy of 80s New York. Witness to this decade in the city, Nagasaki delivers a stunning report of the streets, the nights, the onlookers, the violence, in short. an urban fever which seemed to embrace this city ceaselessly; an almost monstrous city under the gaze of the Japanese photographer but which reveals something deeply human. A “classic” that has become rare to find.
