Review "The sequencing is such that if you turn to the same page number in each city, you'll find comparable situations, with some witty and fascinating variation." --Photo District News"It's fascinating to see how different men dress in similar camouflage-print clothes in New York or in Shanghai, and how identical girls wearing T-shirts look in Paris or New York." --Foam: International Photography Magazine"The natural urge to contrast and compare quickly reveals cultural, sociological and anthropological prejudices in the reader and the inevitable conclusion that we are a very small planet dominated by a pretty uniform race of humanoid creatures." --Photoicon"The large-format cityscapes with the identifying quirks of each city and the snapshot-style grids of their inhabitants soon reveal how simliar one city is to another today." -- Lindsay E. Dygert --Focus Magazine"Art photographer Hans Eijkelboom's obsessive catalogue of hundreds of people on city streets--in Paris, New York, Shanghai is subtle and revealing." -- Stirling Kelso --Travel + Leisure About the Author HANS EIJKELBOOM (born 1949, Arnhem, Holland) began his artistic career in 1971 with an installation that was part of a group show that included Joseph Beuys, Ed Ruscha, and Douglas Huebler.
