"How is it possible that one feels immediately at home in a place one has never seen before? Photographer Ryan Bakerink is still asking this question 20 years after he first stepped off the train in Chicago, where he still lives today. This book is dedicated to the homeland of his heart and describes a journey of self-reflection that ends in a kind of time capsule. Throughout 2020, he photographed all 77 boroughs of the American city to explore his fascination with them, find his place in them, and understand how they shaped him. Chicago 2020is more than a declaration of love to a city. In a time of social and political turmoil driven by the pandemic, Bakerink discovers hidden treasures amidst the void and the sheer beauty of humanity"--Publisher's website.
