New York, svjetski megalopolis, američko i svjetsko mitsko mjesto u ovom trenutku ima najveći broj zaraženih koronavirusom u Sjedinjenim Državama, četrdeset posto ukupno zaraženih u državi.

Možda je bilo neizbježno da postane epicentrom epidemije zbog svoje gustoće naseljenosti, premreženog javnog prijevoza, stalnog priljeva turista, kao međukontinentalno tranzitno središte.

Pogledajte video Marijane Marinović o New Yorku prije i poslije korone.

Grad koji nikada ne spava, prinudno je stavljen u hibernaciju kao i cijeli svijet. Hrvatska fotografkinja s njujorškom adresom Marijana Marinović, koja godinama, među ostalim, svojom kamerom bilježi puls ove globalne metropole, ekskluzivno za N1 donosi atmosferu New Yorka u doba korone.

Uz svaku od fotografija po jedna je pjesma legendarnih njujorških izvođača.

Heaven is a place, a place where nothing ever happens.

(Heaven, Talking Heads)

Motherland cradle me, close my eyes.

(Motherland, Nathalie Merchant)

Half of the time we’re gone, but we don’t know where.

(Simon and Garfunkel, The Only Living Boy in New York)

Of rags and silks, a costume fit for one who sits and cries.

(The Velvet Underground, All Tomorrow’s Parties)

You with the sad eyes, don’t be discouraged, oh I realize it’s hard to take courage.

(Cindy Lauper, True Colors)

 It’s a beautiful noise and it’s the sound that I love

And it makes me feel good

Like a hand in a glove

(Neil Diamond, Beutiful Noise)

“The winds of March that make my heart a dancer, a telephone that ring, but whose to answer?”

(Ella Fitzgerald, These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.

(Billy Joel, Piano Man)

I will surprise you sometime, I’ll come around.

(Interpol, Untitled)

Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o’ mistrust, love’s gone behind.

(Blondie, Heart of Glass)

New York City is the place where they said:

Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.

(Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side)

It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under. (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five)

(Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five)

Here I go and I don’t know why

I flow so ceaselessly

Could it be he’s taking over me

(Patti Smith, Dancing Barefoot)
