Ten years ago, a few weeks before Instagram became the hegemonic approach to photography in our lives, opening the floodgates to the urge to endlessly spot and capture images. And further still, trivialising its significance.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Giasco Bertoli was in New York for a few days, his notebook filled with locations that cinema \u2013 at the height of its golden age (his personal pantheon shared by so many of us: Scorsese, Gray, Hitchcock) \u2013 had made immortal. Immortal, but still elusive. The question is: what drives a photographer to return to the scene of the crime? And even more so, a crime committed by someone else: a filmmaker.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>What are we looking for in a place that\u2019s already been revealed by cinema? What kind of proof are we seeking? Did we dream it all up? Do things stay the same once they\u2019ve been filmed? What traces does the camera\u2019s gaze leave behind? Does the scene continue forever, once filming is over? Does it remain suspended in a time loop? Does Harry still want to meet Sally? Are they there, sitting at the same table at Katz\u2019s? Is she still screaming with joy?<\/em><br \/>\n<em>This series is not a tribute to architecture. These images are more like the snapshots of a dazzling, impervious city. His \u2018locations\u2019 sometimes follow in the footsteps of the films Giasco Bertoli measures himself against, but he never aims to quote them nor reproduce their effect: Giasco Bertoli<\/em><br \/>\n<em>captures the remnants. The scene is empty, populated only by ghosts that we must learn to see.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>So, we go check it out to verify the tragic hypothesis: I saw nothing at the cinema because of my body. If many of us return to the traces of our cinephile memory, it\u2019s because cinema, as it flows, always prevents us from grasping the thing itself. But when photographed, the city becomes material. And this time, it\u2019s the city that comes to us. Who benefits from the crime? Cinema? I\u2019m not entirely certain&#8230;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Torn from the unreeling of film, a Giasco Bertoli photograph is never a still frame, or a parody of one. It returns to the very source of fascination: American street photography. And here we understand that it was already the subject of that spoiled child cinema\u2019s jealousy.<\/em><br \/>\nPhilippe Azoury<\/p>\n<p><strong>Giasco Bertoli<\/strong> is a Swiss Italian photographer who lives and works in Paris. He discovers photography at the age of twelve, when he receives his first camera, a Kodak Instamatic Pocket 200. He studied photography at the European Institute of Design in Milan and at the New School in New York. Since the 1990s, his work has focused on sport, cinema, youth, music and landscape. Locations, New York is his tenth book and he regularly contributes to various international publications, including the magazine Purple, in which many of his portraits are published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff Rian<\/strong> is a writer and musician, and deputy editor of Purple magazine. He has written numerous essays and exhibition catalogues and is a regular contributor to Art in America, Flash Art, frieze and Artforum magazines. He is the author of The Buckshot Lexicon and Purple Years, and has written monographs on artists including Richard Prince, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Lewis Baltz and St\u00e9phane Dafflon. His CDs include Everglade, with Jean-Jacques Palix; Fanfares and 8 de pique for Alexandra Roos; Wind &amp; Wood and M\u00e9t\u00e9o with Bob Coke; as well as Battle Songs, Such Is Life, and Sketches.<\/p>\n<p>Photographs: Giasco Bertoli<br \/>\nPreface: Jeff Rian<br \/>\nGraphic design: C\u00e9lestine Claudin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The images that make up Locations, New York are more than ten years old. 2014.
