"Carnets - New - Yorkis (Signed)," a collection of works by French photographer Jean-Christian Bourcart, visualizes 48 notebooks he filled with notes during his time in New York City from 1998 to 2005. Based in Paris, Bourcart is known for his unique style of interweaving urban fragments with personal memories, moving between photojournalism and art, and keenly capturing the atmosphere of the city, a mix of post-9/11 social unrest and immigrant culture. In this book, motifs such as signs, neon lights, reflections in glass, and ordinary people on street corners are strung together through photographs, handwritten notes, and layout experiments, unfolding as a "map of memory" of the city that transcends documentary. Through the repetition of fragments and overlapping visual echoes, the artist's thought process and creative trial and error are directly imprinted on the book's design, conveying the multifaceted nature of New York City in a rich and immersive way, while vividly demonstrating the exploratory spirit and poetic sensibility inherent in photographic expression.
