Queens Boulevard – A Winter Walk Across New York

Queens Boulevard, a major New York thoroughfare stretching over 11 kilometers, walked end to end in winter. With his medium format 6×6 analog camera, Simon Souchois captures storefronts, signs, and urban markers encountered along the way, assembling a visual cartography of the city.

With little pedestrian traffic, the boulevard functions almost as an urban highway, dividing neighborhoods rather than connecting them. From Long Island City to Jamaica, it reveals New York’s diversity through a succession of adjoining cultures, African American, Caribbean, Asian, Hispanic, Slavic, and Irish, a continuous tracking shot across the urban landscape.

Each photograph is indexed by its exact intersection, allowing the viewer to retrace the artist’s steps like a travel diary through the urban maze. The series brings together over fifty black-and-white images of street corners, frozen in the warm light of a New York winter, and is accompanied by a selection of hand-printed silver gelatin photographs, printed by the artist and presented in the bookstore.
