Steidl is committed to publishing the ongoing lifeª¡s work of Massimo Vitali, and Entering a New World, collecting images from 2009 to 2018, is the newest book in this series. Following the first two now out-of-print volumes published together as Landscape with Figures / Natural Habitats, 1994ª¤2009 in 2011, this book presents Vitaliª¡s large-scale color images of humans interacting en masseª¢both consciously and unconsciouslyª¢with their environments. Whether relaxing beachside, exploring the ruins of the Roman Forum or navigating a crowded shopping promenade, Vitaliª¡s pictures are topographical celebrations and subtle critiques of our changing habits of leisure. Entering a New World furthermore traces an important shift in Vitaliª¡s practice: his move from large-format film to medium-format digital.
Photography is like a river with a thousand streams that never converge.
