The Swamp

(2013–2016)

“I love some urban myths, like the croc­o­diles in the sew­ers of NY. I see the city as an immense, part­ly sub­merged and old reptile…”

What Lon­don was a cen­tu­ry ago, New York is nowa­days, only a hun­dred times bigger…taller, and faster.

New York both impress­es you and impos­es upon you. Under­neath the glam­our of rags to rich­es sto­ries, lie only a few human fix­a­tions with pow­er, dom­i­nance and hierarchy.

RP Browne on The Swamp
“NY was orig­i­nal­ly a Dutch set­tle­ment on native lands, and for a long time it was called New Amsterdam.

Trade trans­formed the orig­i­nal swamp, in a sequence of Boom and Bust cycles. 

Today the city is a prime brand, sell­ing itself over and over in tons of movies, adver­tis­ing and tele­vi­sion shows”
