New York, in the heart of Greenwich Village, a street basketball court, a unique atmosphere: The Cage, The West 4th Street Playground.
When she discovered this court, Capucine Bailly was fascinated and immediately thought that this place deserved to be documented: the gestures of the bodies, the intensity of the actions, but also the surroundings of the court where people chat, laugh and share.
She will shoot a long term reportage in black and white film from 2003 to 2010.
310 films, 11,160 clicks, and now a book, almost 20 years later.
