John Mack is noted for his photographic monographs exploring human experience in global urban contexts. 

This volume captures Marseille’s layered identity through street scenes and immigrant life, described by Musée Magazine as portraying 'fleeting interactions … unnoticed by the camera’s gaze.' 
 
Mack’s mention of 'shooting film' in his inscription speaks to his use of analog cinematographic methods—a nice note for the photo-book collector. 

Subjects: Marseille, French port city, Urban immigrant life, Black & white photography, First edition signed collectible, Photography, Contemporary art, Street photography.
