About this product
Product Information
Mid-March 2020: native New Yorker Gregory Peterson is on an early evening walk through the city, suddenly shut down by the coronavirus pandemic. Manhattan's grand public spaces are bare. The monumental Lincoln Center Plaza is empty. The sounds of skates on ice and bustle of tourists and workers at Rockefeller Center are absent. Not a soul on Easter Sunday at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. Starkly silent, the city is stilled, as no one had ever seen it before. Traveling on foot and by bike to avoid public transportation, Peterson took more than 400 photographs of over 200 locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens through the spring and summer of 2020. Using his iPhone 11, he captured myriad surreal landmarks--the United Nations Secretariat with no traffic, people, or flags, Grand Central Terminal without a person or even a car in sight, as well as gelled neighborhood streets, churches, shops, and other tourist destinations. Without people, these photos reveal the city's primeval soul. They unveil a serene beauty most often obscured by the frenzy of our fast-paced lives. We see New York with new eyes. The first reaction to Gregory Peterson's poised, chilled shots of New York City is: Must be trick photography. He's Photoshopped the people out--or else a sunny daylight in--in what must have been shots from the dead of night. But no: This is the capital of the world in lockdown. One has to go to de Chirico's imaginary metaphysical paintings of Italian cities to find such radical depopulation. --David Cohen, editor, Artcritical.com During the height of the lockdown, Peterson also captures the city's response to swelling Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world after the killing of George Floyd. For the first time in living memory, midtown Manhattan and other areas were boarded up following Memorial Day due to fears of civil unrest as, documented in the chapter "Plywood New York." New York: Stilled Life is a comprehensive record of a unique, vanished moment; a memento of a time we all endured and how it changed us and our cities--perhaps forever.

Reviews
The latest in Yale School of Architecture's series of books documenting the Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship takes sustainable tourism as its subject. Established in 2004, the Bass Fellowships bring developers to Yale to teach design studios anchored in "real-world" development processes. For the fall 2019 advanced design studio, "Next Generation Tourism--Touching the Ground Lightly, the developer was John Spence, the self-described "socially conscious entrepreneur" who leads the successful Karma Group. The hospitality company has thirty resorts across six brands, with eleven of the resorts in Bali and Indonesia. For the studio led by Spence with architect Henry Squire, engineer Patrick Bellew, and Yale's Timothy Newton, the students designed a resort located on Gili Meno, one of the three pearl-like Gili Islands near Lombok, Indonesia." --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture, "Peterson, a native New Yorker and corporate lawyer by profession, took an evening stroll in mid-March and, upon coming face-to-face with an empty Lincoln Center, he took it upon himself to visit the city's top cultural destinations on his bike and snap photos of each one of them--completely devoid of people. The result is an almost eerie book, a reminder of the sadness and heartbreak that we've all been through but, in a way, also a hopeful message: the worst is, hopefully, behind us. In total, Peterson snapped over 400 photographs across more than 200 locations." -- Time Out, New York
