"Charlie KOOLHAAS presents a timely dialogue between words and images about a crucial moment in our recent history: the apotheosis of globalization and its current unraveling.
In her phot book, 'City Lust', Charlie KOOLHAAS takes us to London, Guangzhou, Lagos, Dubai and Houston, cities in which she has either lived or worked.
Her personal and humorous account explores the rapid changes taking place in these culturally vastly different metropolises that are being united by the influences of global trade and the evolution of a shared global culture.
A captivating combination of photographic documentary and written testimony. 'City Lust' portrays a global landscape that contradicts the current pessimism—to reveal new creativities, unexpected possibilities and intimate connections that emerge despite huge global and economic divides."
