PDN on FUCKING NEW YORK: Eroticism, architecture, and absurd love

Yesterday, Photo District News ran a feature on Fucking New York. For anyone who’s worked in photography over the past decade, you’ll know what a big deal that is. And when your work is provocative, unapologetic, and titled FUCKING NEW YORK, getting that kind of mainstream acknowledgment hits a little different.

Anyway, I’m proud of this one. Here are a few words from PDN’s Frank Webster:

In his latest book, FUCKING NEW YORK, Nikola Tamindzic ponders whether a New Yorker’s love for the City is the most important relationship in his or her life, asking the question to the point of absurdity: What would screwing New York City actually look like? The project evolved into distant, almost architectural, slightly removed from reality, though quietly sensual photographs — their flow broken up by in-your-face closeups and an occasional overtly humorous shot. The uncanny/unreal city feeling the images evoke are reminiscent of surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico’s plazas, punctuated with Lynchian humor.
