In his 2003 book La Città Dinamica (The Dynamic City), @stuartafranklin presents the modern metropolis as seen through his lens across two decades. Split into four focuses—history, work, leisure and globalization—Franklin journeys across multiple continents "in search of the signs of the process through which cities and their inhabitants mutually molded each other.”⁠ ⁠ The book invites viewers to reflect on the multiple dimensions of urban life in a constantly shifting world: images of commuters, military parades and sacred temples decorate its pages, from São Paulo to Mexico City to Cairo, depicting the enduring juxtapositions of city living.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) Commuters from the outskirts of São Paulo climb stairs to the subway which will take them into the city center.

@biekedepoorter's book Blinked Myself Awake, co-published by @thisbookistrue and @hannibal_books, is a profound investigation of fragmented memory, subjective truths and the imperfect nature of photography through the most public phenomenon: the cosmos.⁠ ⁠ Realizing she felt uneasy looking at the night sky, Depoorter discovered that gazing at the stars was like looking at her own memories, which guarded an unspoken trauma. “By daring to look into the stars, into the past, memories came back,” she says.⁠ ⁠ Featuring deeply personal texts, historical research on how photography changed astronomy, and luminous images of stargazers and observatories, Blinked Myself Awake grapples with how, and if, one can seize one’s past. “I started to think that maybe that’s why I decided to study photography, because I had the fear of forgetting,” she says.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio. ⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) Opening the Themis Telescope.

In 1960, @evearnoldphotographer photographed Marilyn Monroe behind the scenes on the set of John Huston’s The Misfits, offering an intimate and candid glimpse away from the spotlight. A new collection from Magnum Gallery, in collaboration with the Arnold estate, celebrates this work through a series of platinum prints.⁠ ⁠ Limited to 15 prints, the debut release of The Platinum Collection reimagines one of Arnold’s most enduring images of Monroe through a specialized printing process that offers unparalleled tonal range.⁠ ⁠ For the first time, the image is available as a print which showcases the “deep blacks, striking highlights and subtle textures that remain rich and bold for lifetimes to come,” says Magnum Senior Sales Lead @jackminto.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Discover more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.

Hold on tight 🎈⁠ ⁠ Balloons are a universal language of delight—colorful departures from everyday life. Magnum photographers have captured the ways we celebrate with them, fly in them and carry them with us. ⁠ ⁠ In 1992, @peter_marlow_foundation photographed Robert Etherington, an English balloonist, bringing a hot air balloon to life in Tuscany, Italy.⁠ ⁠ A lone balloon may have brought momentary relief in @mattblack_blackmatt’s image from Brownsville, Texas.⁠ ⁠ Cristina García Rodero depicts a dreamlike zangarrón, a folkloric character during a festival in Sanzoles del Vino, Spain. ⁠ ⁠ Comment your favorite 👇⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS (left to right):⁠ ⁠ (1) Bahia, Salvador.

"The photographer finds himself divided between the desire to enter into the intimacy of others and the necessary distance that photography expects him to keep," writes @pzachmann.⁠ ⁠ Drawn to its enchanting atmosphere, Patrick Zachmann photographed during the night-time throughout the 1990s and 2000s, relying primarily on artificial light to create an evocative series of cinematic nightscapes. Inspired by the nocturnal underbelly of China – a country he has returned to repeatedly throughout his career – Zachmann set out to capture the transience of the night as it unfolded in dimly lit streets, city corners and nightclubs.⁠ ⁠ "In the role of an observer, he positions himself on the edge of the world that he is studying. Solitarily scrutinizing the city in obscurity, he hesitates between entering into this nocturnal universe or staying outside it. My photographs are the story of this double attraction.”⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS (left to right):⁠ ⁠ (1) In the backyard of a house in Bamako. Mali. 2003.⁠ ⁠ (2) 12th arrondissement.
