Blackout New York is a collection of works by Swiss photographer René Burri (1933–2014). As a member of Magnum Photos, Burri captured the turbulent 20th century with a lyrical yet sharp gaze, capturing the dynamics of people from politicians to everyday citizens. He was particularly interested in architecture and urban spaces, and used his unique compositions and rhythms to capture the interwoven relationships between society and humanity. This work is a record of the night New York suffered a major blackout, meticulously capturing the face of the city without light and the transformation in people's behavior. Skyscrapers submerged in darkness, faces and hands illuminated by faint lights, an atmosphere where chaos and tranquility coexist. This book captures, with a gaze that blends tension and humor, the fragility and sense of solidarity of the city revealed in moments when everyday life is shaken.
