This print of Ruth Orkin’s renowned photograph, American Girl in Italy, Florence, Italy, was previously displayed in the Expressions of Life exhibition at Fotografiska, New York from September through December 2021. Seemingly an observational street-documentary image, Orkin wanted to recreate what had happened to her being a woman alone in Italy. She met Ninalee Craig in her hotel and asked her to go around Florence with her to do so. This scene basically presented itself, as Ninalee walked through the group of men, and Ruth was in middle of the street at Piazza Del Repubblica, and two frames of this image were shot.
