Concrete and poetic shots combine in a visually compelling journey in which a sense of time and place are lost. The photographs seek not to describe but to evoke the sensations that the city produces, the impressions it leaves in our memory, sometimes in the form of a dream rather than reality. The images were taken on aimless walks, and mostly have a timeless quality.
These photographs were first published in 2023 in New York Memories, the first collaboration by American writers Bob Colacello and David Jiménez, published as part of the Ivorypress Cities series.

Additionally for this exhibition, Jiménez has produced a mosaic with details of one of the city’s subway stations, showing a material decay and some unique painting interventions. It’s not clear if these interventions have been carried out for technical reasons or due to the madness of an individual but regardless, they are transformed into a kind of visual poem of strange geometries that border on abstraction, creating a counterpoint to the body of the exhibition.
David Jiménez has been dedicated to personal photography projects for more than 30 years. His work, captured in books, exhibitions, and projections, for which he has been awarded, has been exhibited both in Spain and abroad.
