endcommercial is a unique reading of the city, a visual research project of urban street territory, with over 100 000 photos taken since 1997.

Created by Scheppe Böhm Associates (New York / Munich),
with photographs by Florian Böhm, Luca Pizzaroni and Wolfgang Scheppe, the project maps the city of New York in its details - encoded into broken bicycles, markings on pavement, words on signs and on concrete, the ubiquity of plastic bags, the nomadic rituals of street vendors-- unveiling embedded social conditions and contradictions

endcommercial demonstrates that between urban structures and individual existence, organic and improvised systems emerge. Situated beyond the sophisticated economy and below a level of recognition, they are familiar yet paradoxically invisible.
