Silva’s unexpected, random shots capture new angles of New York architecture as she wanders the cityPublished with Head Hi.For the past three years, photographer Giovanna Silva (born 1980) has meandered through New York City, camera in hand, collecting photographs in her own time. She often walked more than 10 miles a day, taking in as much as she could or sometimes passing by the same site again and again. As a collection of more than 700 images, Days Without Number is ostensibly organized as a calendar, but follows no sense of time or chronology. Ultimately, it is a puzzle of images: populated by the city’s recognizable landmarks but not a travelogue; imbued with the city’s pedestrian spirit but not a portrait of its denizens. Alongside this surprising series is an essay by New York–based writer Sasha Frere-Jones, a member of the New Yorker staff for 10 years and now a cultural contributor for several newspapers and magazines.
