Shot by Both Sides: A Glimpse of New York

**【Book】Shot by Both Sides: A Glimpse of New York 1986 / Cornelia Wilhelm**


**Product Description:**
New York has always attracted and continues to attract people from all over the world seeking fortune, artists, and modern nomads. Cornelia Wilhelm, who left Switzerland at the age of 19 in 1985, is one of them, seeking her fortune in the city that never sleeps. Her day job was as an assistant on Pirelli calendar shoots, while at night she captured the nightlife, quirky music scene, and everyday world of the Bronx and Harlem. Her hideaway was Coney Island, where yesterday's faded amusement parks lined up one after another, and carnival showmen captivated working-class visitors. In her photographs, Wilhelm captures countless small moments, creating a portrait of New York from the perspective of a young woman hungry for life, while simultaneously creating a documentary of the people who live on the other side of the glamour in a constantly fascinating place at a special time.
