Created Concept

Great Jones Street

"There is no New York—it's just like a concept that you've created for it; it's like eight million moods."

Christopher Bollen, The Rumpus

Corporate Bank

Deutsche Bank

"I love New York, but it’s not a very inspiring place for creativity. It's very expensive, but not even in a Rome type of expensive. It's like corporate bank expensive."
Christopher Bollen, The Rumpus

Theory

"As New Yorkers, we generate new theories about the city on a monthly basis. My current theory is that New York doesn’t really exist. That it's not actually a physical place; it's just a bunch of ideas crammed together."
Christopher Bollen, The Rumpus

Invisible

Park Avenue

"The pulse of New York is irresistible. And I find a kind of solace in feeling invisible on the streets here. As if there are so many people going along at once that I’m impossible to see."
Christa Parravani, The Rumpus
