For the section 'Stadsbeeld' in the Parool, Julie Hrudová has been shooting a street photograph in Amsterdam every week since January 2020. Like a sniper she moves through public life in the city. With one push of the button she manages to elevate seemingly normal situations to absurdistic spectacles. The result is a series which holds up a mirror to us and at the same time gives a subtle report on Amsterdam in Corona time.
Chasing Amsterdam contains the photographs that Julie made for Het Parool, in addition the reader is given an insight into Julie's weekly hunt for the cityscape through reports and extra visual material. The photo book provides a unique look at Amsterdam and our lives in a new reality.
