Giacomo Brunelli, NEW YORK, 2020

Giacomo Brunelli stalks the streets of New York with his old film camera, often for ten hours a day, looking for characters and details that are adrift in time.

His work has an air of nostalgia to it, and a film noir sensibility. The images are dark, shadowy, moody and a bit menacing — as if we’re looking through the eyes of a night detective, a voyeur or a stalker.

They provoke an unspoken narrative, offering up clues to an unknown mystery.

True to his love of old things and old ways, Brunelli shoots with a 1962 Miranda camera and prints in his darkroom.
