HARTFORD SEEN PABLO DELANO
introduction by Laura Wexler essay by Guillermo Irizarry Hartford Seen is the first modern-day art photography book to focus
on Connecticut’s capital. Comprising more than 150 full-color images, it has been in the making for two decades. In this personal meditation on the city’s built environment, he implements a methodical but intuitive approach, using color and meticulous compositions to evoke the city’s essence, particularly the way global population flows impact the city’s physical structures. Hartford Seen is meant to be taken as a whole, as a visual document that can shed light on the unique characteristics of one city’s past, present, and potential futures.
