Cuidad interrumpida

This book presents Gabriele Basilico's 1995-96 photo-report on Milan. Exploring both the center and the outskirts of the city. Basilico's photographs document the relationships, and lack thereof, between the city's architecture and its urban context. An award winning photographer and a trained architect. Basilico is concerned not only with enlightened building design, but also with questioning how different parts of the city relate and interact with one another. Basilico's rigorous, at times cold, gaze is often mingled with a sense of affection, and this gives his photographs a compelling visual duality.
