Animal NY magazine on FUCKING NEW YORK: “New York: City I’d Like to Fuck”

When Animal NY ran a piece on Fucking New York this week, Marina Galperina opened it like this:

“Sometimes you just want to grab hold of those buildings, throw yourself at the sidewalk and ugh, ugh, ohhh. Photographer Nikola Tamindzic’s newest project FUCKING NEW YORK is about fucking New York, that powerful appreciation for whatever it is that makes you tolerate this city’s many flaws and fuck-ups, that love manifesting itself physically as a series of poised sexual abstractions. It helps that Nikola’s photos are always beautiful. He makes pressing your breasts at a window look eloquent, enchanting. Hmm. Hmmmm. Hmmmmmm.”

It’s one of the sharpest, funniest takes I’ve read on this series. Marina doesn’t just get the work — she matches it beat for breathless beat, writing with the same physical urgency and unfiltered heat FUCKING NEW YORK itself was built on.
