The book Side Walk offers a unique journey through the emblematic series that Frank Horvat produced in New York between 1982 and 1986, combining iconic photographs with never-before-published images discovered in his archives with the help of the photographer and his daughter. This personal series, which he developed with great freedom alongside his commissions, would prove decisive in his transition from fashion photography to author projects.
In the form of an urban walk, the book is built on visual associations that have emerged over the years. It testifies both to the contemporaneity of this work and to the photographer's extraordinary talent as a colorist.
Frank Horvat documents a period of his life in the American metropolis that already identifies his favorite themes: humanity, the absurdity of the city, and its contradictory beauty. Accompanying these images, a selection of excerpts from his journal reveals both the intimacy of his New York experience and his questions. A fictional correspondence with Horvat, written especially for the book by filmmaker Amos Gitai, sheds new light on the multiple facets of this work.
