Nathan Corbin – “I worked as a delivery boy in Manhattan in my early twenties.  It’s an intimate way to experience the city.  The delivery is a conduit into an extended, physical exchange.  It can be erotic and psychedelic; the repetition of ‘opening‘ in a city full of guarded skyscrapers and locked doors. You float invisibly, drifting from one ambiance to the next.

In NYC there is fluidity between everyone. You’re constantly ‘encountering’ people. Always entering. The energy can vary wildly with successive shifts from light to dark to light like yin-yang. You found luck!  You find yourself in a utopian center: a Psychic 9-5 Club.

People are dancing.

I chose to work with people I didn’t know for the most part..so that our interaction was new, innocent..like a delivery.
The cinematography concept was crucial.  Shoot with a wide angle lens to create that innocence.  You see everything so the ‘gaze’…the obsessive and voyeuristic part of looking is reduced.  The eye of an open heart.”
