David Katzenstein

Between One and Another (Hirmer) is 144 photographs from 25 countries, spanning five decades of travel by New York photographer David Katzenstein. Street photography, portraiture, and documentary work, including a pair of images of the same three women in Bhutan, taken twenty-six years apart.

A recurring structural thread runs through the work: Katzenstein returning to the same places and people years or decades later, and photographing them again. The most striking example is a pair of images from the remote Tang Valley of Bhutan: three girls photographed at a high-altitude festival in 1999, and the same three women photographed in the same valley in 2026, when Katzenstein returned after twenty-six years. It is this layering of time and place, of first encounter and reunion, that gives the book its particular character: a body of work less concerned with the decisive moment than with the longer arc of a life spent looking.
