Big City Nobody is artist Luisa Opalesky's debut photography book. Published by Spotz Studios and featuring work created between 2020 and 2024, the photographs in the book reveal glimpses of daily life, vibrancy of nightlife, and outtakes from assignments commissioned by the New York Times and Interview magazine. The collection includes writings by Alissa Bennett, Susie Essman, Daniel Arnold, and Teardrop, and unfolds with a flow reminiscent of walking crosstown caffeinated and immersed in the pulse of the city.
Luisa Opalesky (b. 1987) is an artist whose practice seeks to connect with all walks of life through photography, dance, and film. Originally from Philadelphia, she earned a BFA in photography under the mentorship of George Pitts at Parsons New School for Design. She draws inspiration from her elders, multicultural background, glamour, squalor, going to the cinema three times a week, and her home downtown in New York City. Her work is consistently characterized by its vibrant color, hazard, and comedic relief.
