What's night for you? 0.00 Night is the carefully selected result of over 200 personal answers to the question “What is Night for you?” curated by journalist Olivia Fincato with photographer Renato D’Agostin. On the Moleskine US site this piece can be ordered.
The project was born on one of those sleepless working nights. The Zeropuntozerozero Edizioni team was looking for an alternative way to publish a special series of images of an iconic, surreal and mysterious New York in the dark. A Moleskine notebook was on the desk, the perfect support for a personal journey into the abyss of night. But something was missing. They were missing people - their observations, feelings, memories. So they decided to ask as many people as they knew the same question: What is Night for you?
