'I wanted to find out what the world looks like today, in our time. How far have we come? How much are we alike? How different are we? I wanted to meet the people of my era. Each of the places I visited is special in its own way, and every one of them surprised me. Their stories deserve to be told. I'm constantly amazed by the innumerable ways in which life unfolds at one and the same time - the incredible variety of customs, shapes, colours, religions, and surroundings. And everywhere, I kept seeing the same beautiful things of which human beings are capable. That's the central idea behind Streets of the World: how alike we are, not how different we are. Travel along and see for yourself.'
195 streets, 195 countries, 7 years of travelling, 195 flags, 204 maps, over 900 infographics, 436 pages, 195 photos + the iphonography of Jeroen Swolfs

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 200 countries; one street each; seven years of travelling and collecting photos, stories, facts and figures about each country. This is not just another photography book. It reveals everything that a street means to society: education, wisdom, youth, experience, happiness, stories, food, and so much more. This is the raw material of life, drawn directly from the experiences of the Belgian photographer Jeroen Swolfs. Seeing the street as a unifying theme, he travelled in search of that one street in each place - sometimes by a harbour or a railway station - that comprised the country as a whole. Each stunning image conveys culture, colours, rituals, even the history of the city and country where he found them. Swolfs sees the street as a universal meeting place, a platform of crowds, a centre of news and gossip, a place of work, and a playground for children. Indeed, Swolfs's streets are a matrix for community; his photographs are published at a time when the unique insularity of local communities everywhere has never been more under threat.
