“A sweeping portrait of the city like you’ve never seen it.”
365 images from the streets of NYC above and below.
More than a documentary record of New York City, nyc365 is a fantastical view of the beauty, contrast, grit, glow and rhythm of the city, full of surrealism, abstraction, impressionism, cubism and realism- all the major art movements seem to be represented by one photographer in one grand collection of photography of this magnificent city.

The Artist.
Barry Sutton jumped into the NFT space with a splash. His genesis collection 96° in the Shade has achieved a sort of cult status among collectors and has been a fixture on the top 20 all-time list of NFT photography projects. A founding member of the Raw DAO and Untitled DAO, Barry has just launched his own incubator, 96 Studio, bringing artists with significant bodies of work to the blockchain.
The Photographs.
A man in a black cap stares at a larger than life portrait that appears to be him as an older man; a building emerges from the cobblestones while the pedestrians march upside down below the surface like a scene from a Murakami novel; six hands grasp a subway pole; two bodiless feet emerge from a cloud of steam while one enters the unknown; four striped legs join the stripes of the crosswalk; suggestions of a conspiracy scrawled on a construction wall, two young boys in Harlem immaculately dressed marching to school.
nyc365 is a song with many verses, the story of a city of contrasting elements, whose movements are like an orchestra of more than 8 million, that in its randomness, performs with such purpose, rhythm and harmony, must be guided by a divine force.
