World Dutch conceptual artist Hans Eijkelboom`s work is very much in line with the deadpan, seemingly mechanistic note-taking of Ed Ruscha & Hans-Peter Feldman.

This uniquely bound three-volume set unfolds to allow the reader not only to view each city individually, but also to compare simultaneously the three photographic studies of each metropolis & its citizens. Expansive cityscapes detailing the quirks of each city & the snapshot-style grids of their inhabitants soon reveal how similar one city is to another today.
