This book brings together a series of 30 photographs by André Cadere (Warsaw, 1934 — Paris, 1978). The photographs, which have never before been published in their entirety, capture the artist’s wanderings through New York City during his first trip in November 1975.

He took with him several round bars of wood, including one of his own size, which appears in all the photographs. These images evoke the idea of walking and displacement that is always associated with Cadere, who is often considered a kind of itinerant artist or a parasitic figure who inserted himself into places where he had not been invited.

They also capture the very spirit of New York, a city that is constantly changing, yet always manages to retain its uniqueness.
