The book is divided into five chapters: \"Panoramas\", \"Grids\", \"Portraits\", \"Multi-Exposures\", and \"Diptychs\"; each employs a distinctive technical process to provide a new way of looking at life in New York City. \"Panoramas\" (1977-1983) show interacting urbanites moving through elongated frames as the lens of an extremely wide field camera pans during exposure. \"Grids\" (1980-1990) captures eight moments on a single negative as Spano moves through a sequence of events, pre-determinedly exposing a portion of the grid every four seconds. \"Portraits\" (1984-1990) focus on individual inhabitants transformed and etched out from their settings through the solarization and blurring forms into an atmospheric world. \"Multi-Exposures\" (1985-1998) combine solarizations with multiple perspectives. These single-negative layered compositions orchestrate and compress selected intervals of time and space into one image. \"Diptychs\" (1998-1999) fuse two distinct moments on one negative where scale, focal planes, and perspectives shift and comprise a dual image of urban spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"powerHouse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030795600112,"sku":"9781576873922","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781576873922_p0.jpg?v=1763798574","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781576873922","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
